Calendar
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]

A trip to Rifle Camp Park in Woodland Park (formally West Paterson, where I grew up 🙂 ). In this meeting, the den will work on their forestry elective, identifying tree groups and plants. More importantly, they will see the impact of urban sprawl both within the park and from the overlook, which overlooks Clifton, Montclair, and towns east all the way up to the NYC skyline.
Note, we are going to the Rifle Camp Park, not the Garret Mountain Reservation.
Just a reminder our Halloween themed pack meeting is tomorrow at 7pm at Glacier Hills. Costumes are welcome. Please RSVP if possible and don't forget to bring your popcorn papers!
Thanks!
