Centennial Gathering

Volunteer

Help make Troop 1 Mendon’s 100th a weekend to remember. About fifty of us will run the Gathering — setup, check-in, the kitchen, campfire, first aid, and breakdown. Pick a shift online, or send a short interest form if you’d rather the committee place you.

Troop 1 Mendon 100 years commemorative patch

Why help

Volunteers keep the weekend running. In thanks for your time, every volunteer receives:

Meals during your shift

You’ll be fed while you’re on duty — including Saturday’s turkey dinner if you’re on the kitchen crew or staying through the evening.

Volunteer shirt

A centennial shirt so families know who to come to for help — plus the commemorative Gathering patch, same as everyone else on the hill.

Be part of the 100th

The Mendon Centennial Gathering happens once. A few hours of your weekend is how Troop 1 and Pack 1, neighbors, and alumni make it work.

Where we need you

A handful of shifts cover the whole weekend. Take one or several on the shift board — or tell us your availability on the form below and we’ll match you.

Friday setup

Tents, signage, and grounds prep at Inman Hill before guests arrive. Work-party dates earlier in the fall will be announced to everyone on the list.

Saturday check-in

Greet arrivals, hand out maps, and point people where they need to go.

Kitchen / turkey

Saturday turkey dinner is the one provided meal of the weekend. We need several hands on prep and service. Other meals are bring-your-own.

Campfire, first aid & Sunday breakdown

Stage Saturday’s campfire, staff the first-aid tent (medical background welcome), and strike camp Sunday morning so the conservation land goes back as we found it.
