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.

We had such a great time, we had to do it again. Pack 89 started off the year with a fishing trip at the Sourland Mountain Preserve, and the fish were biting more than last time. We had great weather for the event and a great turnout. Thank you to everyone who came.

With COVID, it took a lot of work and planning, but Pack 89 was finally able to hold it’s Pinewood Derby. We have great weather at Docherty Park, and the scouts got to finally show off the cars they has worked so hard on. See the car gallery below.

After the fishing derby, Pack 89 held it bridging up ceremony where the scouts moved up to their next rank, and the Webelos II Scouts formally leave Pack 89 and move on to their chosen BSA troops.

The 5th graders of the Weblos ll Den created fun online and board games for their Game Design Pin. This picture shows a coded game that one Scout shared with the group.  Creative ideas and elements of a game were discussed, group discussion and cyber safety all mixed in to make this a fun and futuristic project! 

Thanks to Zoom, our scouts were able to take part in a “Zoomfari”, where they saw a presentation on exotic animals.

Earlier in December, our scouts undertook a sock drive for the Hillsborough Food Bank. The scouts collected 1445 pairs of new socks. The Hillsborough Food Bank sent us this thank you letter showing below.

For our December Pack Meeting, we watched a very fun and interesting Zoom magic show starring Conrad Cologne. You can find more information on his shows here.
