On this rainy day of Saturday March 23rd, 2024, Pack 195 hosted another Pinewood Derby race at St. Matthias School cafeteria. This PD saw one of the largest participation rates over the past few years, especially in the Sibling group. This year we introduced a Leader race, with a great showing there. And to top it all off, new this year, we added a Fun Race (top 2 of the Pack, Sibling, and Leader race). The event was also livestreamed and is available to watch online https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATS3EKYk520.  A huge thanks to all the participants, as well as their parents, leaders and volunteers. And a special thanks to Mr. Migliorisi for being an event MC.

The official results are available here. Last year's PD winner Luke M. presented this year's 2024 Pack 195 Overall PD Champion Noah L with the trophy. Congrats Noah!!!

On Saturday March 9th, 2024 the scouts of Pack 195 visited Camp Wheeler at Mount Allamuchy Scout Reservation, and participated in Maple Sugaring class, where we learned about process of making yummy maple syrup, right in our backyard.  As we learned, the maple sap only runs for a few days a year, so it's critical to tap it at the best time, for the good yield (could be late Jan to mid-late Feb in our area). And of course, a sweet reward at the end, pancakes with fresh maple syrup (from 2024 batch).

Welcome back to another scouting year with Pack 195. The pack will kick off the 2023/24 year with a 9/11 ceremony on Tue Sep 12th, the Pack meeting on Mon Sep 18th, followed by the Franklin Day event in Colonial Park, on Sat Sep 23rd, and then our popular Outdoor Movie Night on Mon Sep 25th Mon Oct 2nd (rain date change). This year per popular demand, we will be showing The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The start time is at 7pm, projecting on the side of the back garage of St. Matthias School. Movie night details in the flyer, and the list of all September events are here.
