There is street parking, just be mindful of the signs, yellow painted lines and the fact that we are near both the fire trucks and police cars. Additionally, there is a parking lot behind the center…and this is where the benefit of having Venture Crew members help you carry/pull/tote your stuff comes in especially handy!
Check the website https://crew59.org/crop-2012/ for updates. I will be posting vendors and the menu as they are confirmed.

There and Back Again
The Crew had a hike today from Hilltop Reservation in North Caldwell to Mills reservation in Cedar Grove. While not the most difficult of Hikes, they did cover almost 11 miles in full packs. Not a bad day.
Here is a map of the Trail and the Elevation Changes:
And a few pictures from the Hike…
[pb_slideshow group=”3″]
And planning for the next hike:
We mentioned that the next hike would be a bit more difficult.
I am thinking about the State Line Trail and a loop around Surprise Lake.
Here are some links to the trail and elevation changes from when I last did it (March 2008). This would be March 10th 2012.

2011 Registration Information
Welcome back Crew 59 Scouts and Scouters,
It is time to (re-) register for the coming scouting year. The following describes the required documentation and fees. If you have registered in the previous years then you do not need to fill out a new BSA application form. We do need the attached documents completed and returned prior to registration (November 15th).
Adults who are registered need to complete the online Youth Protection Training which may be found at the following link, http://myscouting.org
1.The Crew dues are payable now. Please make checks payable to Caldwell West Caldwell Scouting Inc. The Crew 59 has set the dues for the year at $50 per scout (If you have more than one scout in the troop then the fee for these additional scouts is $40 as duplicate copies of Boy’s Life need not be sent) and $20.00 per adult. Included in these dues are the fees the Crew pays to the Northern New Jersey Council to enroll a scout, a one year subscription to Boy’s Life Magazine, and a fee that will offset crew expense throughout the year.
2.Crew 59 Registration and Personal Data Collection Form- Please update your address, phone numbers, emergency contact name, and the email addresses for both parents/guardian and your son. Some scouts may not have email addresses or do not check email regularly. It is important that we have an email address for the parent/guardian because many troop notices are distributed via email.
We look forward to an exciting year. As always, any questions or concerns please fell free to contact me.
Yours in Scouting,
Mr. Cristiano
