Due to a last minute GHC Park Committee schedule change, we have been advised that we are unable to arrive at the Glacier Hills Association – 7 Forum Court, Morris Plains until 3:00PM on Saturday, May 20, 2017.

Our May pack meeting is jam packed with fun activities! This includes our annual Cubmobile race and Spring Campout!
This is a great opportunity for our newer members to have their first camping experience while staying close to home!
Not ready to camp? You are still welcome to join us for the Cubmobile race, dinner and some amazing campfire entertainment! If you are unable to stay for the entire camping trip, please email [email protected] to let us know details so that we can accommodate your family.
