March has been a very busy month for PPC adventures.

• The Morris County St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Morristown – we had 10 units registered with almost 150 scouts and family participating in the parade. Attendance was somewhat reduced by the weather, but everyone had a great time.
• Maple Sugar Program – every Saturday in March we have had the Maple Sugar Program scheduled at the Kent Center. Frank Wallace and company did a great job introducing Cub Scouts and their families to how maple syrup is made and also gave everyone an opportunity to eat their fill of pancakes.  We had over 120 Cubs and 100 family members participating from many packs.
• Camp Programs – thanks to better than normal March weather we had a variety of outdoor programs including Ziplining (at WSR), rifle, archery, and other fun adventures at both of our camps.
• Chess program at the Service Center on March 9^th. Under the supervision of Tom Andrea and Dave Setzer, 41 scouts participated from across the council.
• Other merit badges – during the month we had scouts participating in a number of merit badges including Emergency Preparedness, Forestry, Family Life, Personal Fitness and Personal Management.
