| Children & Families Baseball, Softball, T-Ball Monroe's children play in the 3 Rivers League, comprised of Barnet, Peacham, Monroe, and surrounding areas. We normally have enough players to form "Monroe-only" teams, so that children are playing with classmates and friends. Teams start with T-Ball for ages 5 & 6, move into "Minor Baseball & Softball" for ages 7-10, and then into "Major Baseball & Softball", ages 11-12. For more info, go to the 3 Rivers website, or click here to download the form. You can return it to the Monroe School Office or Town Library. There's also great news for boys 13-15 on the 3 Rivers website, check it out! Note: 2010 registrations are due by MARCH 25th or you will incur a $5 late fee per child - which the town will NOT cover!  Cub Scouts Cub Scouting is a year round family program for boys in Grades 1-5. It promotes character, family ties, spiritual growth, and fosters values such as citizenship, teamwork, perseverance, and pride in doing your personal best. Check out our website for more info. We also connect with an active Boy Scout Troop for boys 12 and up, and can help you with more information for older boys. The Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains serve NH & Vermont. Girls ages 5-17 are encouraged to develop their leadership potential thru activities that enable them to discover their values, skills and world around them; connect with others; and to take action to make a difference in their community and their world.
