Hudson Farm Hike

Hopatcong Cub Scout Pack 88 filled the trails of Hudson Farm this past weekend during the 8th Annual Hopatcong Charity Hike. Pack 88 was represented by nearly 100 Cub Scouts, leaders, family members and friends.

 The previous night’s rains were gone and a beautiful day greeted the Scouts who assembled on Hudson Farm’s finely manicured lawn. The Pack kicked off the 4 mile hike by ascending a hill and passing a spectacular waterfall. The Scouts walked along the tranquil shores of Bear Pond before emerging from the woods to the expansive views from an overlook along the power line cut. After taking in the view, the group returned to the woods and descended the hill to the duck pond. The Pack then circumnavigated the duck pond, at one point ringing the pond with their Gold uniform shirts. The Scouts then completed the final leg of the hike back to the clubhouse to enjoy a tasty barbecue.

 Thanks to the generosity of the Hudson Farm Foundation the Hopatcong Charity Hike raises money for: Hopatcong Sports Organizations; Hopatcong Fire Department; PBA local 149; Hopatcong Ambulance Squad; and, the Hopatcong Parent Teacher Organizations.

  Hopatcong Cub Scout Pack 88 is always looking for elementary school aged boys to join their ranks. If you are interested in joining Pack 88 please contact our Cub Master, Mike Nicotra, at thenicotras@gmail.com.
