Scouts should bring a magnifying glass if they have one. If they have their own pair of inexpensive children’s binoculars, they are welcome to bring them as well if they would like.

October Community Service
This month Pack 142 is supporting two very important causes.
Used Halloween Costume Donation
Pack 142 is helping Family Promise & Deirdre’s House in Morristown to collect pre-loved Halloween costumes that are in good condition. Costumes that we collect will be donated to families in our community that are unable to provide their children with a Halloween costume.
Interfaith Food Pantry Thanksgiving Basket Program
Thank you for your donations to the Interfaith Food Pantry over the summer! Pack 142 donated 53 pounds of food to families in need. This month, we are helping the Interfaith Food Pantry with their annual Thanksgiving Basket program! They will be providing 1,600 Thanksgiving dinners to families in need and have asked if we can help them again. The list of needs that they have provided is as follows:
- Turkey, turkey breast, ham or large chicken
- Stuffing
- Instant mashed potatoes
- Turkey gravy
- Yams – canned & fresh
- Pasta – regular dry
- Canned vegetables (low-salt if possible)
- Regular and hearty soups (low-salt if possible)
