On May 31 to June 1st, the Boys of Pack 27 participated in the Spring Beach Jam at Morey's Piers in Wildwood New Jersey.  Overnight camping on the beach (tent city), and unlimited rides and waterpark on the pier!  Cub, Boy and Girl Scout (Packs and Troops) attended from all over the region for a great Friday and Saturday at the beach!

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.

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.

This year's Pinewood Derby was held on March 2nd at the Msgr Holmes building and it was an exciting day for racing.  Congratulations to all racers for working on race worthy cars and to the winners (all categories) for a great show!

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!

On Sunday, February 10, 2019 at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark, NJ, Cub and Boy Scouts from the surrounding communities who had completed various religious metal workbooks took part in a ceremony to confer awards.  The setting was the spectacular Cathedral and there was a ceremony with songs, and gospel reading and a Homily given by Reverend Philip Latronico.

The boys of Pack 27 recently had Den and Pack meetings to cover essential skills from their Cub Scout books.  Den sessions included learning about snakes and what to do in case of a snake bite.  They also worked to identify various animal tracks (something they may use as we get snow).  Later in the Pack meeting they learned about knot tying and rope skills.  Lastly the boys assisted in building and taking down a four person tent.

Pack 27 and Troop 27 had a joint event at the Ridgewood YMCA on Saturday January 5th.  The Boy Scouts worked on elements required to earn their swimming merit badge (Eagle required), and the Cubs and parents had play time in the pool.

On Friday October 19th, Pack 27 had a fantastic tour of the Glen Rock Police Station. Lt. McInerney and Officers Orsita, Graziani, and Surdyka were our gracious tour guides for a 'Safety' themed event.  It included history of the department, demonstrations of CPR, heart defibrillators, weapon safety (do not touch, tell a parent or officer), as well as the daily responsibilities of the police force.
