September Committee Meeting
Location: Stephanie to send Zoom meeting invite in advance of meeting
Hi Wolf Den – Just a reminder about our den meeting tomorrow! Please don't forget to bring your mask.
Steve
Please join us for our first Wolf Den Meeting! We will be meeting at the Great Swamp Information Center at the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, located at 220 Long Hill Rd, Harding Township NJ. We will begin with a tiny bit of outdoor education (Outdoor code, buddy system) and then take an approximate 2 mile hike, with lots of wildlife viewing opportunities including reptile, amphibians and birds. On the hike, we will be looking to find 2 things that we've never seen before and will discuss as a den at the end of the hike. This will allow the boys to complete their "Paws on the Path" Requirement.
Be sure to bring your 6 essentials for a hike: small first aid kit, water bottle, flashlight, trail food, sun protection and whistle.

Part 1 of our den meeting focusing on the "scouting adventure" requirement
Please join us for our September Pack Meeting and Popcorn Sales kick-off! We plan to pass out all awards earned since the Spring so please plan on attending!
Welcome to a new year as Bear Scouts!! Woohoo!. Please attend the pack meeting on 9/17 at same location. We will be distributing awards and your Wolf Badges for those who completed the program. Due to covid, many exceptions were made. So, don't be discouraged if you were just missing a couple of requirements.
In addition, I would like to announce our new Den Leader for the boys group is Mr. Joe Lanni (Christian's dad). I will continue to help as an assistant and Michele will also continue as the girls Den Leader. Mrs. Regina Tafro (Thomas' Mom) will also be helping.
We will comply with all social distancing guidelines. We will be meeting outside and masks will be worn for all that are fewer than 6 feet apart. We will be covering the Bear Necessities requirement. This includes setting up a tent, discussing items needed for camping, along with reviewing the Scout Oath, Scout Law and the essentials!! I'll be reaching out to our Den Chiefs to assist and possibly go over the two half hitches (knot). I understand that many may not feel comfortable continuing this year due to the virus.. Please contact me and let me know your thoughts.
Please check TroopTrack for upcoming events!!
PLEASE RSVP!! SO WE KNOW HOW TO PREPARE
Yours in Scouting,

This is part two our den meeting focusing on the "Scouting Adventure" requirement
Hello – Just a reminder to please RSVP for camping by tomorrow, September 4th, if you are planning to join us. Thanks!
Please join us for our annual Fall Camping trip at the Great Divide campground!
Location: The Great Divide Campground, Newton NJ
Time: Arrive 12:30-2:30pm to setup, pack activities to start around 2:30pm
Cost: $20 person if staying over night, $10 per person if coming just for the day & dinner (money will be used to mostly cover campground fees, pack will cover cost of centrally purchased food.)
While Covid-19 will impact what we cook and what activities we do, we believe that we can stay safe and still enjoy the great outdoors together as a pack. Activities we select will be more amenable to social distancing, likely including hiking and/or fishing. To ensure we stay safe, we will be adhering to the following guidelines from council (see attachment). This will include modifying our normal buffet-style dinner plans to ensure the safety of all.
We are currently working on making reservations with the campground. We will need a final count by early September, so please RSVP by Thursday Septemeber 3rd.
Please emal or text Steve with any questions at 570-212-2036 or [email protected]
