Wayland Patch 12/6/11: Wayland Boy Scout Tree Sale Going On Now. It’s a tradition in Wayland that Matt Karpacz said is about as “Christmas” as it gets.

“Buying Christmas trees from Boy Scouts at a church,” said Matt Karpacz, chairman of Boy Scout Troop 1. “If that’s not Christmas, what is?”

For many years, Boy Scout Troop 1 has sold trees from the side lot of Community United Methodist Church on Main Street in Cochituate. The sale opened last weekend, Dec. 2, and will continue until Dec. 18 or until the last tree is sold, whichever comes first.

Karpacz said the troop ordered 326 Balsam firs from Nova Scotia this year along with many more wreaths than last year. The trees range from “Charlie Browns” to more than 10-feet tall. Prices range from $25-$65
