As part of Cub Scout Express Month Pack 189 ventured out to Riverhead to the Railroad Museum of Long Island on September 29th. We toured the Riverhead facility and saw some very interesting trains. We rode on a miniature train that was exhibited at the 1964 Worlds Fair and saw a couple of awesome model train layouts. We then took our very own LIRR coach to the Greenport facility. As a special added bonus, the boys got to see what it is like running the train and even blew the horn of the train on during our ride. Saw a few more trains in Greenport, had lunch and took the train back to Riverhead. The museum was hosting a Hobo gathering and some of the pack spoke and sang songs with the group. Everyone had a great time.

Pack 189 held its 2nd annual Healthy Halloween Party on October 25th, 2007. Scouts were welcomed to come in costume and they all were great costumes. Assistant Cub Master Howard led off the festivities with games of skill and smarts. Treasurer Liz made sure all the kids got their fair share of healthy snacks like, ants on a log. The highlight of the meeting was the Haunted House built by Pack 189 Webelos (under the guidance of Webelos Den Leaders, Eric and Brian). They turned an ordinary classroom into a scary haunted house filled with spiders, bats and icky gooey stuff. Everyone had a great time. Thanks to all who contributed to the success of another great party.

On Saturday, January 5, 2008, Pack 189 took a trip to Family Auto Service in Baldwin Long Island. In keeping with our theme of the month, "Cars", we saw how a real auto repair shop operates. The boys were shown all the unique tools used on cars an how they work. As a special treat, we saw a special pick up truck that won car competitions. A couple of the boys made the cars go up on the lifts. We learned how the Auto Repair industry and in particular Family Auto is doing their part for the environment by recycling oil and other materials. The boys had a fun time and are ready to work on their parents cars. We were even given a goody bag of stickers, frisbees and hats. Pack 189 thanks the owner of Family Auto, Steve and his staff for showing us a great time.

On Saturday, May 17th, Pack 189 held its 2nd Annual Pack Picnic. The weather cooperated and there were lots of games and activities. We presented the ranks to the boys and wish them well as they continue on the path of Cub Scouting. Our chefs, Cub Master Len and Webelos Den Leader Eric manned the bbq's and cooked up such outdoor cooking favorites, burgers and hot dogs. Thanks to everyone who brought snacks, cub cakes, homemade coleslaw, chips, pretzels and paper goods. We could not have had this picnic without all of your support. There was even a scouts vs. leader tug of war. The leaders didn't fare too well in that event. But nevertheless, everyone had a great time.
