We had a great time during the
2002 - 2003 Scouting Year
Here are a few of the things that we did...
August 22-24th, 2003 - Hershey Park
We went to Hershey Park for the Boy Scout Wildlife Weekend. The weather was perfect and we had a great site next to the creek thanks to the Myslinski's R/V that never made it. Hershey Park was crowded but the boys got in a lot of rides and had a great time.Tuesday, August 5th, 2003 - Splish Splash
We went to Splish Splash in Riverhead on a cloudy but hot day. The lines were short and everyone had a great time.Sunday, July 27th, 2003 - NY Mets Game
We saw the struggling NY Mets lose to the Cinncinati Reds by a score of 8 to 5. We had our annual pre-game tailgate party and the kids also got to do the "DynaMets Dash" (run around the bases) at the end of the game. Everybody got a promotional Bob Murphy/Ralph Kiner Bobblehead and Bob Murphy announced his retirement.June 29th, 2003 - The Rosie Fishing Trip
We had 37 people show up for a beautiful night in Moriches Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The fish didn't cooperate but everyone seemed to have a fun time. The final count was pretty sad with only Shawn Lopez and David Longman going home with a one keeper fluke each. Two black sea bass, one caught by Zachary F., also made the minimum size limit of 11.5 inches and were taken home. Next year we've decided to call this a whale watching trip. See pictures here.June 18th, 2003 - DEC Fishing Clinic
Chart Guthrie, Greg Kozlowski, Fred Henson and Mike DiMarco of the NYSDEC Freshwater Fisheries unit did a fantastic job of educating everyone on the finer points of freshwater fishing. Then all the boys grabbed a rob and caught a bunch of pumpjkinseed sunfish and a few yellow perch.June 13-16th, 2003 - Family Camping at Baiting Hollow
Unfortunately, the endless rain we've gotten this spring resulted in the family campout being cancelled. We'll try to do it again soon.June 8th, 2003 - Bronx Zoo
The rainy spring weather held out for the day and we had a really good time at the zoo. Everyone was treated to some wonderful, up close and personal views of all the exotic animals.
May 10th, 2003 - Car Wash
The car wash was a hugh success earning the pack $415. Thanks to everyone who helped out.May 2nd, 2003 - April Pack Night
The theme for April was "Land of the Pharaohs" and our fun game had two boys making a mummy out of a third. Everyone judged the best mummy and prizes were awarded.April 5th, 2003 - Islanders Hockey Game
We were there and saw the Islanders lose to the Atlanta Thrashers 2 - 3. For a game recap check out the Islanders site here.

The boys got to try out the ice at Sports Plus - many for their first time on skates. By the end of the two hour session everyone was zooming around the ice. [See pictures here soon] Friday, December 20th, 2002 - Pack Night

All the boys cheerfully volunteered their time and muscles to our annual community service event, the American Littoral Society's 16th Annual International Coastal Cleanup. We spent a couple of hours collecting about 25 bags of garbage, an old tire and even a destroyed Moped from Tides Beach. All of our effort definately made the beach a more beautiful part of our community. See pictures hereFriday, September 20th, 2002 - Pack Night

This is our first Pack Night of the new scouting year. All scouts should attend in full uniform. Dens should display any crafts or pictures or posters of what they have been working on this month. Parents and siblings are always welcome at pack night.Sunday, September 8th, 2002 - Summer Beach BBQ
