dinner at St. Andrew’s Church was chaired by the Demers family; it made $2500
profit. Two Cub Scout Dens
enjoyed a Halloween haunted event run by our Troop on October 30. They loved it

the annual Cub Scout Woodsmoke event , which is a weekend of camping and

scouts in attending the annual Camporee November 14-15. The theme this year was
HEROES and there were demonstrations by the K-9 corps, Army, Navy, Marine

Scoutmaster, Mike McCormick is very involved in coordinating this exciting
event. Scoutmaster McCormick
also is taking members of the troop again to work at Project Christmas Tree.
