Hike the Sunken Forest on Fire Island, Sunday, 9/21, 9a-4p

Posted by mmattera on Sep 13 2025 - 10:54pm

Boy Scout Troop 336 has invited us to join them on Sunday 9/21 for a thrilling day trip to Fire Island’s legendary Sunken Forest — a rare maritime holly woodland tucked behind towering sand dunes. This hidden gem offers a one-of-a-kind hike through a forest that feels like it’s been plucked from a storybook, with twisting boardwalks, ancient trees, and views that stretch from bay to ocean. Scouts will explore unique ecosystems, spot wildlife, and learn about the natural history of this globally rare habitat. It’s the perfect blend of fun, learning, and outdoor adventure!  

Cub Adventure Weekend at Schiff

Posted by mmattera on Aug 30 2025 - 8:05pm

We hope everyone had a great summer! We can't wait to get back into Scouting soon and are working on a calendar of events that we will share when ready. There is a great camping weekend at Schiff Friday, September 26th through Sunday, September 28th. The Cub Adventure weekend is a great way to work on advancement and have fun camping. Cub Scouts in grades K through 5 (Lion through Webelos - so everyone) are invited to join. It's a rain or shine weekend and the Pack will camp out together and cook our own meals. We're sending this out now so people can start planning - we hope you all can make it. If you can't camp out you can just come out for activities on Saturday. Registration is open now through Friday, September 19th at 6pm. Take care and we look forward to an amazing 2025-26 Scouting year!! Any questions please reach out to Mike at 516-405-9592. 

Thank you!
