CHRISTIAN SERVICE

Hancock's Troop 119 supports other Scout programs in Lexington. We invite you to support Sacred Heart's Boy Scout Troop 10 in their annual fundraising dinner on Saturday, February 7 at Sacred Heart Parish at 5:00 pm. The event will be a relaxing dinner catered by Marriot Burlington, which will include a silent auction and plenty of lively musical entertainment by the scouts. The troop is raising funds for "Camperships," which are financial aid for scouts to go to summer camp and to purchase gear that can be used for camping year-round. Donations of $25 per ticket are greatly appreciated. Troop 10 scouts will be at coffee hour, selling tickets and accepting donations.
