Welcome

Troop 144 of Pompton Plains, New Jersey encourages Scouts to live by the Scout Oath and Law. Our Troop enjoys a multitude of activities planned by our youth and adult leaders. Recent activities include monthly camping trips, weekly meetings, and a week long summer camp. Some highlights of our camping trips include overnight trips to the Battleship Massachusetts, the Freedom Trail in Boston, Washington D.C., Gettysburg, and Philadelphia. Troop 144 is also committed to its community. Our recent scouting for food drive collected a few hundred bags of food for our local food pantry. Additionally, we annually clean up trails at local parks. We are always looking for ways to help in our community. If you have a need, or suggestion, please feel free to contact us.

I am looking for 2 to 3 scouts next Wednesday, May 28th or Thursday, May 29th from 4:30 to 7:30pm after school.

Volunteers will help scrub the old dog park obstacles while I power wash them to get them ready to put in the new Lyman Park Dog Park. Service hours will be earned.

Gloves, masks, safety glasses and brushes will all be supplied as well as dinner. We will meet at the Dept of Public Works at 99 Alexander Ave.

Pls let me know which day you could possibly do it and we will settle on which day.

Once we have the group I will send the permission slip to fill out.

Thank you for your support on this phase of the project.

Interested / available Scouts should contact the Bauer Family at pbauer10@outlook.com
