Below, .Boy Scout Troop 299 is lending muscle power to the Friends of the Walpole Town Library as they prepare for their giant two-day Book & Tag Salel.  Pictured above are Cole Bensenhaver, Joshua Makinen, Kaelan Hansson, and Jeremy Williams carrying some of the thousands of books donated to the sale to benefit the library system of Walpole, North Walpole and Drewsville.

Troop 299 is noted for its willingness to give back to the community and engages in civic tasks throughout the year, most recently holding a concert on the town green to aid in Hurricane Relief effort.

These activities also add to the service hours needed for rank advancement.  The troop, which meets Monday nights at the Town Hall, currently has 22 members from 6th to 12th grade.  Lou Kaletsky is Scoutmaster.
