The 1926 Committee
A hometown weekend at Inman Hill for Mendon's youth, families, and alumni.
The Mendon Centennial Gathering is a small weekend for Troop 1 and Pack 1 families and alumni — about 50 people — to mark 100 years of Troop 1 Mendon on the town land that has always been close to home.
Friday we arrive. Saturday we spend outdoors, share a Thanksgiving-style turkey dinner, and sit by the fire. Sunday morning we pack up and head home. There is no Sunday program.
Troop 1 Mendon's story also includes the local American Legion tradition tied to Roger L. Wood — a legacy of veteran service and civic commitment that continues to shape the troop's culture of leadership and community responsibility.
Hosted by The 1926 Committee.
October 9–11, 2026 at Inman Hill in Mendon, MA. Early leaders from 10:00 AM Friday; camper arrivals from 5:00 PM Friday. Check in at 1926 Committee Field. Saturday program, Sunday morning departure (2 nights). Organized by The 1926 Committee.
This is a hometown gathering for Troop 1 and Pack 1 families and alumni. The weekend is invitation-scale — about 50 people. See What to Bring for arrival times, site layout, and packing.
This weekend is a celebration of and by the town of Mendon. For a century, Troop 1 has grown up alongside the community — and this milestone is the town's to share.
We gather on Inman Hill Wildlife Conservation Area and the adjacent Quissett Wildlife Management Area — town and commonwealth land that Mendon has cared for for generations.
About 50 people. Outdoor skills on Saturday, a turkey dinner, a campfire, and two nights under the stars. No public exhibition day — just families and alumni who already know this hill.
When the weekend is over, any remaining committee funds are donated to the Mendon Food Pantry. The grounds themselves are left as we found them: nothing permanent is built, and the fields return to the town unchanged.
