September Pack Night
Our first Pack Night of the new year was fun and informative.  We saw a great slide show of last years' many events, every boy received a commemorative piece of the cornerstone of the new Freedom tower and then Den 3 won the "Name That Tune" game and received Coast Guard T-Shirts.

Hershey's Boy Scout Wildlife Weekend was a fantastic trip enjoyed by many of our pack families.  The weather held out and weekend was a great success!   Although we had to deal with some showers upon arrival, we had a great night Friday and and excellent day Saturday.  See some Hershey Park pictures here.
