Dear Scituate Residents:
We have been very busy this winter. Along with running 103 classes we have been working with the Friends of Scituate Recreation, Inc. & Scituate Historical
Society to re-structure and expand our community sailing program. The Sailing Committee along with the Friends of Scituate Recreation have sent a mailing to
every household in Scituate to explain more about the program & opportunities for your support. Also, we are sponsoring a “Burgee Design Contest”. You will
find more information on the page 12 of the brochure.
We also are partnering with the Department of Conservation and Recreation to offer a “ParkPass”. We will have in our office one ParkPass that will be avail-
able to families in our community to sign-out and visit one of 56 Massachusetts State Parks. This is a pilot program in an effort to connect children & nature.
From Boston to the Berkshires, we invite you to discover the natural, historic and cultural resources within the state park system, and to enjoy a wide variety of
recreational opportunities including hiking, swimming, mountain biking, horseback riding and much more!
Please, take a moment to read through the brochure; there is a lot more information & new programs to check out!
“Catch the Scituate Spirit”…and get involved today!
