• Our White Mountain Trek will be August 9 to 12, 2012. The hike is strenuous with steep, rocky terrain exposed to weather above treeline. We will reach the highest and most popular hut in the White Mountains, Lakes of the Clouds, on the southern shoulder of Mount Washington. This hut offers gorgeous views of sunrises and sunsets, and proximity to rare alpine flowers. If enough younger Scouts are interested, an easier hike will also be arranged. Troop 42 summer hikes are always an adventure and filled with fun and long term memories!  If you want to join the trek, reserve a bunk at the Lakes of the Clouds Hut for the evening of Friday August 10, 2012 as soon as possible because they fill up fast!  Send an e-mail if you have any questions.
• More Assistant Scoutmasters, Merit Badge Counselors, and Troop Committee Members are always welcome.  Please contact the Committee Chairman if you can help the troop.
