On behalf of Luke: Hi everyone, I am hosting my Eagle Scout project on Saturday May 4 from 2-6 pm at the Sleepy Hollow United Methodist Church.

I will be providing snacks, drinks and pizza. Please bring a reusable water bottle. I would really appreciate it if you could help and look forward to working to help the church.

Once again the Mahoney's have graciously invited scouts from Troop 875 to attend the Marine Corps Barracks Friday Evening Parade on Friday, May 17, 2024. For more than 60 years, the "Oldest Post of the Corps" has displayed the pride, professionalism, and esprit de corps of Marines throughout the world. This is a one-of-a-kind experience that is not to be missed! The parade takes place from 8:45pm to 10:00pm with gates opening at 7:00pm and closing at 8:00pm. Space is limited and we can only accommodate scouts and a limited number of adults who will be driving and accompanying the scouts.

Also, this year on Saturday evening, we will be celebrating our 70th anniversary as a chartered Scouts BSA Troop! Look for more info as the date approaches.
