PUTNAM —  “A Scout is Friendly,” even if the folks they’re friendly with are ghosts, goblins and vampires.

Boy Scout Troop 21, of Putnam, was camped out at a table across the street from the Putnam Post Office Oct. 28, one of the groups giving out candy to what troop leaders said were the approximately 1,500 trick-or-treaters who visited their Scouts at Putnam’s downtown 2016 Halloween Trick or Treat Night.

“This was a fun thing for us to do,” said Troop 21 Scoutmaster Peter A. Lombardo, of Putnam. “We’re out here showing kids and their parents that we’re an active troop and we have a good time.” For information about joining Troop 21, call Lombardo at (860) 963-0171 and leave a message.
