The 2000 - 2001 Scouting Season


		We had a great time during the 2000 - 2001 Scouting Year
		Here's what we did: June 29-30, 2001 - American Cancer Society Relay For Life The Relay For Life is a community-based event designed to celebrate survivorship and raise money for the American Cancer Society. Pack 244 fielded a team for this years' event held at the Rocky Point Jr./Sr. High school. Each team had to keep at least one representative of their team walking around the track at all times. We all took turns walking laps from 6:30 pm until 9:00 am and raised over $800 for the American Cancer Society. See our pictures here. June 24, 2001 (Sunday) - Atlantis Marine World Aquarium We won this year's "Festival of Trees" Christmas tree decorating contest at the Riverhead Aqaurium. Our prize was a free day at the aquarium including a pizza lunch. We had a great time.
