Snow Go! March 3, 2009
Posted by Jim Galley [ASM] in : general , comments closed
As you all already know, today’s snow has canceled our meeting and the boys weekly meeting. Scoutmaster Ed must have decided that he wanted a day off, so the snow arrived and everyone benefits! Just in case any of you scouts are going though dodge ball withdrawals, Scoutmaster Ed has provided a few pictures from last weeks meeting to keep you entertained. See you next week!
Belleayre Ski Trip February 27, 2009

Finally! Some pictures from our intrepid scout troop and their weekend misadventures! This year, the scouts opted to go to Belleayre and spend the entire weekend out skiing. Today we have a few pictures from the all you can eat dinner weekend – whoops, I meant the annual ski outing. The scouts didn’t go hungry, given that every parent contributed some dinner dish (thanks to all who contributed). While the snowboards we reserved were mysteriously missing upon arrival, the scouts made the best of the situation, picked up a set of skis and had a great time.
additional pictures can be viewed here.
Troop 565 Scouts Honored by Suffolk County Police February 23, 2009
Posted by Jim Galley [ASM] in : general , comments closed
This week, the Suffolk County Police visited troop 565 to honor three of our scouts – EvanP, PeterT and JamesG – for coming to the aid of a police officer in need. During our winter fundraiser event, several scouts braved the cold weather and were selling wreaths at the Paradise diner in Hauppauge. A little past noon, one of the cooks fell ill and the police were called to the scene. The officer was the first on the site, and needed assistance to help the cook. The scouts helped the officer until the EMT’s arrived and took over.
Troop 565 is proud of our scouts quick thinking and willingness to help out an officer in need without hestitation.
