Mike,
My name is Roger Wieland and I work with BSA Troop 258 out of Mahwah, NJ. We are headed down to Pamlico for their sea kayak trip this coming July. While doing some research to give the boys options and ideas your Troop came up in the google search. I will be sending out a link to your posting for those attending to read and review the pictures. I am hoping you can share some information when you get a chance.
What were some of the boys concerns with the trip? What were some of the must do’s? I read that your meal at Parkers was good. Were there other places that you might have tried?
Any feedback you can give would be appreciated.
With Respect,
Roger Wieland

Scoutmaster Mike,
My name is Lydia Tucci and my family recently relocated to the area from Florida. My family has been involved in scouting for the last 15 years. My youngest son, Daniel, is 13 years old and has achieved the Star rank and would like to join a local troop.
We would like to visit the Troop next Sunday, May 6. Please let me know if this is convenient for you.
Yours in Scouting,
Lydia Tucci
