Happy Halloween!
We all had fun at the September Pack Meeting.
Thank you to everyone who donated a snack.
We hope that everyone will offer a big welcome to our new Tiger Den & Wolf Den, and to all of
our new Cubs Scouts, as well as to our 3 new leaders, Colin, Terry, and Mike.
Last weekend was Wizard Safari. Attending were Den 1, Den 3, and Colin and Joshua Bakalyar.
Everyone had a great time participating in all the activities, and the Webelo Dens 1 & 3 got to
camp with Troop 27. Congratulations to Troop 27 for winning the First Place Award for Best
Gateway and thanks to them for letting our Webelos go to Safari with the Troop!
Have a good time at the party following tonight’s Pack meeting, and we hope to see many of
you on the 25th at Tuckahoe.

Do you know anyone
interested in joining
Scouting?
If you know a boy in the
1st through 5th grades, ask
him if he would like to
join Pack 27. You could
earn a Recruiter Patch!
Ask him to come with a
parent to our next Pack
Meeting, and invite him to
your Den Meetings so that
he can learn about the
Pack.
Registration can be done
any time of year, so if you
know someone who’s
interested, invite them to
a meeting and ask them
to call Mike Paules or Eric
Arnicar.
