 TR Pilgrimage
It was a beautiful day! The TR Pilgrimage was a day full of ceremony and history. We started out with a visit to the TR Bird Sanctuary where we petted turtles, saw raptors & found a geocache! Then there were ceremonies at Young's Cemetary & a hike to Sagamore Hill. There the ceremonies & presentations continued. All who went, had a great time!

Fundraising
The Popcorn Sale is over! Congratulations to all our young salesmen and their families. This fundraiser helps our pack as well as our council. And the popcorn tastes good too! Big thanks go to our Popcorn Kernals, Mike Vitucci & Diane Stearns who keep it all organized very well. We had fun selling at Iavarone Bros, Ace Hardware and the PTA garage sale too.
A portion of each scouts' popcorn sales goes into an individual account for their use. Keep this in mind when you need to pay for trips. You can use that money to pay for any pack events including Science Museum, Ducks games, Riverhead Raceway or trips like that.
We also had a Bake Sale & raffles at the Pinewood Derby. Thanks for your support!
