On Monday October 17, Pack 89 held their annual Halloween party. Scouts participated in a pumpkin decorating contest, a mummy wrap competition, scavenger hunt, and finished the night off with a story around the campfire. A great time was had by all! Check out some of the awesome pumpkins:

Pack 89 held its annual Blue & Gold Luncheon to day goodbye to our Webelos 2 scouts. Of our ten Webelos 2 scouts, three have decided to pursue other interests while seven are moving on BSA Troop 1776.

Pack 89 held its annual pinewood derby at the HIllsborough municipal complex. The scouts got to show off the card they had spent the past few months building. We had some very creative cars and some exciting races.

This month, Sergeant Michael Ranges of the NJ State Police spoke with our Pack. He told the scouts about what it takes to be an NJ State Trooper, his experience going though training, what a typical day is like, and let the scouts explore hit squad car.

To fulfill the “Build a Better World” requirement, our Webelos 2 dens met with Mayor Lipani. They learned about the responsibility of being mayor and some opportunities to help improve Hillsborough.

Pack 89 held it annual Holiday Movie Night at HES. The scouts enjoyed watching “8 Bit Christmas” while the parents learned about Pinewood Derby.

Mr. Cody Obrupta, a Fifth-Degree Black Belt and instructor at ATA Martial Arts in Hillsborough, visited the Pack last night to teach the Scouts a little about Tae Kwon Do.

Pack 89 held it annual Halloween Party pack meeting. We had game, a pumpkin carving contest, and for the first-time every a Halloween tug of war (because, why not?).

Our pack went for a hike from Colonial Park to the Canal Tow-Path, then back to the park. We also held a scavenger hunt looking for different types of wildlife

Pack 89 started a new scouting year with an old favorite…THE LIZARD GUY!!! He brought lot of interesting animals for the kids to touch and learn about. See highlights below.
