Pack 846 hike of the month
Lenape Trail/Eagle Rock Reservation
February 1st (Saturday)
Meet @ 9:00AM
For our next hike we are going to explore the Eagle Rock Reservation with some amazing views of New York City (weather depending) and travel a short section of the Lenape Trail. It will be an easy 2.5 mile hike along the ridge of the reservation before looping back through the woods.
We will be parking at the "Eagle Rock Trail Parking Lot". You can enter that directly into Google Maps, or if you enter the reservation via Crest Drive from Eagle Rock Ave, drive past the Highlawn Pavilion, bear to the left and begin to loop back around toward Eagle Rock Ave. and we will park in the lot there.
Try to arrive a few minutes before 9:00 so we can start on time!
Don't forget to bring:
Hiking boots, Rain gear, Backpack and the 6 Essentials for Scouting!
(flashlight, filled water bottle, whistle, first aid kit, sun protection, and trail food)

What is the Blue & Gold Banquet?
The Blue and Gold Banquet, the “birthday ceremony” for the Cub Scout program, is held during February, the anniversary month for the Boy Scouts of America.
The Boy Scouts of America was organized in February 1910, and the Cub Scout program was organized in 1930
The Blue and Gold is a time for us to get together and celebrate the Cub Scout Program, celebrate our Cub Scouts, celebrate our Cub Scout families, and celebrate our Cub Scout Leaders!
What is the AOL Crossover Ceremony?
Crossover ceremonies are a way for the Cub Scout Pack to say goodbye and for the Troop to welcome them. The Arrow of Light Crossover ceremony is an important moment in a Scout's journey. It marks the end of their Cub Scout path and the beginning of their trail to new adventures in a Scouts BSA Troop.
The Raingutter Regatta is a racing event for Cub Scouts that is the sailboat equivalent of the pinewood derby.
Each scout should get their sailboat kit from their Den Leader at their March Pack Meeting or Blue and Gold Banquet.
Scouts are free to paint and decorate their sailboats as they choose.
The boats are raced in a standard rain gutter that is ten feet long, placed on a table and filled with water. The boats are propelled by blowing on the sail. The first boat to reach the end of the gutter is the winner. Winners will take home fame and glory!!!!
In the spirit of the regatta... Here's some boat jokes to share with your scouts:
What detergent do sailors use? --------Tide!
Where do ghosts like to go sailing? -------Lake Eerie
Where do zombies like to go sailing?-------The Dead Sea
