Cabin Camping @ Camp Turrell (Webelos & Scouts)
Klondike Derby 2020
On a frigid Saturday (January 18th), the Webelo 2's and a few Bears competed in the 2020 Klondike Derby. Scouts from all over New Jersey braved the cold temperatures to test their skills and Scout knowledge over ten towns (think of each as an activity station). Each town tested a different competency such as teamwork, communication, map reading / compass skills, fire-building, first-aid, etc. Thanks to Den Leader, Brad Simpson for his great decorations of the Pack Sled - he made it into a Roman Chariot in keeping with the 'Gladiator' theme!

Camping at Camp Yaw Paw
The weekend of March 29th through the 31st, Pack 27 Webelos joined the Boy Scouts of Troop 27 for some Spring camping at Camp Yaw Paw. We enjoyed great weather - the rain held off, and went fishing at Cannonball Lake and an afternoon hike up to Bear Swamp Lake. The Boy Scouts cooked for the group and we had plenty of food including S'more's by the Saturday night campfire! The Scouts even put on a skit for entertainment, and work towards their Communication's Merit Badge.  The band of Scouts!  Fishing or drowning bait?      |

On March 16th, 2019 - both Pack 27 and Troop 27 held a joint awards banquet - our annual Blue & Gold dinner. This was an opportunity for Cubs and Boys Scouts to receive awards and rank advancements earned over the school year to date. A special thank you to the parent volunteers who helped to organize, execute and deliver a fantastic night of fun and fellowship.        |

Fitness Night @ Legacy Tae Kwon DO
Thanks to David Hyde (father of Boy Scout Joey Hyde), for opening the doors of his Tae Kwon DO school and allowing the boys of Pack 27 to have an evening of fun, exercise and martial arts! The night started with drawing the design of their choice on the wood boards that would come in handy later in the evening...   The boys concluded the evening of gymnastics and exercises with the breaking of Wood Boards!   Thanks again to David Hyde for his generosity and patient instruction of the Pack! |
