Troop 414 is a very active troop with monthly outings.

Our program strives to develop the core scouting principles of character, citizenship, community service, leadership, and outdoor skills.

Peace Light from Bethlehem

Message:

The Peace Light from Bethlehem is coming to Bedford Presbyterian Church on December 17

For over a thousand years lamps have been continuously lit in the Grotto of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Israel. For the last 22 years, a child from Austria has fetched the flame from a grotto lamp and brought it back to Vienna, where it is then distributed at a Service of Dedication to Scouts from all across Europe. From Vienna, these Scouts take the Peace Light back to their own communities to deliver it, with a message of peace, to churches, hospitals, nursing homes, homeless shelters, prisons, and places of public, cultural and political importance - to anybody who appreciates the significance of this gift of peace.

Since 2004, Austrian Airlines has flown the the Peace Light from Vienna to New York City and Scout leaders have begun spreading it across the North American continent. This year the Peace Light Coordinator for the BSA's Daniel Webster Council, Gretchen Osgood, is bringing the flame to New Hampshire to share it with any and all who are interested in taking the Peace Light home or delivering it to others. This is an event for everyone - individuals, families, church representatives and Scouts - so please spread the word.

The Peace Light will be available at Bedford Presbyterian Church, 4 Church Road, on Saturday, December 17, 2011, from 1pm to 4pm. Bring your own oil lamp or enclosed candle to the church and Boy Scouts from Troop 414 will share the Peace Light with you. More information is available at peacelight.org.

Message:

Hey just wanted to let everyone know that the grand total from Scouting for Food was 10,897 items. Although this was great, we did fall short of our total last year of 13,500. I was very glad to see a lot of Troop 414 members today. Thank you to everyone that helped.
