2002 - Monster Jam Truck Racing Show
A small group of us pulled together a last-minute
outing to Nassau Coliseum to see Grave Digger, Spiderman and the rest batttle it out in
this years' Monster Truck Show! The highlight of the show was an all out battle in
the Quads race featuring crashes, spills and a few dirty tricks by some of the riders.
Next year we'll try to enter a "soapbox derby car" into the Cub Scout
race done during intermission.

2002 - Blue And Gold Dinner
This years' Blue and Gold dinner was a lot of fun
for all. Many of our scouts received achievements such as the Tigers getting their
Tiger Cub Patches. The whole pack was treated to the songs and entertainment of
their fellow scouts and two brave(and crazy) groups of adults. It was a great event
with excellent food, fun entertainment and a well stocked Silent Auction fund raiser.
The auction featured tickets from your favorite local sports teams including the
Mets, Yankees, Islanders, Ducks and some exceptional tickets to the Knicks and Rangers at
Madison Square Garden. There were many excited recipients in the crowd and we raised
approximately $1,000.00; which will be used to pay for our rechartering fees and to
supplement future events. See pictures here
