Arrival Plan & Event Structure
Andover has 6 Scout Troops - Troop 73 Boy/Troop 73 Girls (linked), Troop 75, Troop 76, Troop 77 and Troop 79. Cub Scouts and their parents will be assigned to a Troop for meals. We will do our best to assign your Pack/Den to the Troop in your part of town, but we may have to distribute Packs/Dens among the Troops based on attendance numbers. Our goal is for all Andover Scouts to have a fun, outdoor experience. Scouting is not a spectator sport -- we welcome the Packs to get involved. If your Den has a campfire song to lead, we'd love to hear it! Leaders and parents are encouraged to participate too!
