The COVID-19 pandemic is not slowing down members of Boy Scout Troop 41, who recently took a trip and are now selling winter holiday trees.
The Scouts are participating in the 71st Annual Christmas Tree Sale from 5 to 9 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays at 1104 E. Northern Ave. You can buy Noble and Douglas trees, cut from a farm in Oregon. The tree sales allow the Boy Scouts to take a summer trip outside of Arizona.
This troop, which has 34 members ages 11 to 17, has been meeting virtually/online during the pandemic. About 17 people – Boy Scouts and their parents – recently went camping in Payson for a weekend, where they fished, learned to tie knots and completed First Aid activities. Some boys completed activities to earn rank advancements, which they receive by meeting various challenges.
