Happy Halloween all!

Hope all the little ghosts, ghouls and goblins have a great time tonight.  As a suggestion, take around the food donation bags and let people know that your son is in Boy Scouts and you’re collecting canned goods for those in need this holiday season.  Should be a great way to help fill the bags!

This Sunday, November 4, we are planning to get together as a den to take a short hike up at Moss Rock.  Unfortunately, the Moss Rock festival is going on this weekend.  That means a lot of people, a lot of traffic, and not a lot of parking available.  I’m not sure that taking 22 first graders up there during that time is a good idea.

Instead, we’ll meet on Sunday, November 4 at 2:30 PM at Aldridge Gardens for a little hike.  We’ll meet up at the front entrance just past the parking lot and go from there.

While there, we’ll do leaf rubbings on paper, so have your son(s) bring some crayons (paper will be provided).  If you have binoculars, that would be good to bring as well.  It should be a fun time for all!

If you are unable to make it, don’t worry, there will be other hikes in the future.  Try to find time to take the whole family out on a hike this weekend or next if you can though, so your son will meet his Tiger Badge requirements.  We’ll schedule another hike for later in November at Moss Rock, as I think that hike will be more energetic and fun for the kids.  Maybe we can coordinate a picnic or something for that day.
