Pack 43 Blue and Gold

Dear Pat and Daniel

We had our weekly meeting last night and look forward to welcoming the five Scouts from Den 12 into Troop 88 at Pack 43's Blue and Gold dinner this Sunday at 5:30 pm at the Princeton Day School cafeteria. Attending from Troop 88 will be:

Brian Allenby Life Scout, Senior Patrol Leader
Nolan Mickey First Class Scout
Alan Wertz First Class Scout
Pat Mickey Chair, Troop Committee
Kent Allenby Scoutmaster, Troop 88

We look forward to welcoming the five Scouts:
Mark O'Connell
Emmett Burke
Absnel Esteban
William Meyers
Nyle Neumann

Last night, we also set up the schedule for the next couple of months. For March, we are planning a local campout on the Sarnoff property next to the Millstone River off Route 1 (a good starter campout for the new Scouts and close enough that their parents can visit the campsite). The dates will be March 18-19 or 25-26, depending on the Scout's availability. For April, we will be attending the Central New Jersey Council Camporee, "Be Prepared" at the Middlesex County Fairgrounds in East Brunswick on April 28-30. If any of the Scout's families ask what equipment they might need, please pass along we will discuss this at the first couple of meetings they attend. It's probably best not to go out to a high end store and buy a bunch of equipment as we have some in our Troop Room at the church and one of the best places to get good but reasonably priced gear is Target.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday and welcoming the new members of Troop 88.

Regards,

Kent Allenby
Scoutmaster, Troop 88
