Pack 142 invites all pack members and interested guests to visit the Sterling Hill Mine. The underground mine features a rock and mineral dump that is full of fluorescent minerals from Sterling Hill/Franklin. It also holds sections of minerals from all around the globe! It is a great afternoon out and we hope that you can join us!

Tours start promptly at 1:00PM. Please arrive no later than 12:45PM.

Pack 142 have arranged a group tour at a discounted rate. Entry for children is $8 and adults are $11. We prefer that payment is made to Pack 142 at our September pack meeting or via TroopTrack to ensure we can depart on our tour on time.

IMPORTANT: Regardless of the weather, it is a cool 56 degrees inside the mine. Please bring a light jacket of sweater, even if it is a hot day!

Pack 142 need to provide final numbers to the mine as soon as possible. Please RSVP via TroopTrack or email [email protected] to let us know if you are planning on attending by 12PM on Monday, September 18, 2017.

We are looking forward to welcoming new families and visitors that are interested in finding out more about Pack 142 to any of our events. You are welcome to invite any friends and families with boys that are Cub Scout age (grades K-5). Please be sure to RSVP to let us know you are coming and how many guests to expect.

If one or more friends of your Cub Scout join our pack, your Cub Scout and all new friends that they recruit will receive a “My Best Friend is a Scout” patch. Your Cub Scout will also be presented with a “Recruiter” patch.

Please visit TroopTrack to view additional event information and to RSVP or email [email protected].

We will be meeting at Saint Christopher's Parish between 6:30PM and 9:00PM on Monday, September 25 to work in shifts to put the kits together. Helpers are able to arrive at any time between 6:30PM and 9:00PM and stay for as long as they are available. We understand everyone is busy, but even if you can only provide 15-30 minutes of your time, every bit helps!

If you are unable to help on September 25 but have supplies that you would like to donate, they can be dropped off at the home of Kimberly Catapano (Troop 173) – 5 Marston Drive, Morris Plains, NJ anytime before Monday, September 25 at 5:00PM.

Please email [email protected] or phone Kimberly Catapano (Troop 173) on 973-886-8487 if you have any questions.

Thank you for your support!
