Cub Scouts: On February 13, OMS Cub Scout Pack 169 celebrated our annual Blue and Gold Dinner. At this event we said goodbye to eight fifth grade boys who have crossed over from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. This is a milestone achievement for these scouts as it culminates five years of scouting activity at OMS. The scouts are Kyle Colacicco, Connor Durkin, Adi Roura, Matthew Sanchez, Kevin Sheehan, Jacob Siciliano, Will Suarez, and Jack Sullivan. One of the many things they learned during their journey is how to set a goal and achieve it, an important life skill. Special thanks also their adult leaders, Iram Sanchez and Tom Suarez, who help guide them through their Cub Scout journey. Click here for a photo.
