West Milford scouts in Pack 9 held their annual family campout at the Teen Center (1073 Westbrook Road) last weekend, where they have a chance to enjoy the outdoors in a community setting.
The scouts and their family enjoy a variety of outdoor activities during the camping trip, including the Raingutter Regatta, a fishing derby, crafts, and family fun games.
The day ended with a “crossing over” ceremony, where all the scouts received their new rank for completing another year of scouting. Then the newly promoted scouts celebrated with a visit from an ice cream truck, an outdoor movie and, of course, a campfire with s’mores!
The next morning, they went on a hike to Blackrock behind the Teen Center.
“It was an amazing weekend and couldn’t have been done without the support of the parent leaders. Thank you for such a wonderful year!” said Tracy Courtney in a statement.
If any kids in kindergarten or mid-fifth grade are interested in joining Pack 9, please contact Adam Courtney at 973-975-3045.
