December 2024 Announcements

I hope everyone had a memorable and safe Thanksgiving.
Last month was busy!
We had our annual canned food drive where we brought in over 700 food items and logged ~250 hours of community service time.
The AoL Den had an overnight campout in preparation for their transition to a Troop in March.
AoLs also had an opportunity to visit Troop 112 at their open house event.
Finally we had our first formal Pack Meeting where we gave out all the awards for completed Adventures and Newark City Council Member Eve Little helped sew on all of our patches!
