EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

In light of the storm,I thought I should share this.

NY Islanders Tickets!

I hope this email finds you okay!  I am reaching out to you and Troop 76 in regards to a Scout Night I’m trying to put together for the New York Islanders and the Boy Scouts of Brooklyn.  Our season runs from October to April so I’m hoping we can find a night to bring out the scouts.  Please feel free to reach out to me at your earliest convenience if you are interested.  Nassau Coliseum is home to other events as well as hockey,so I’m sure we can find an event the scouts will enjoy.

Thanks,

David Sibelman

Daniel Rak,18

Dear Scouting Family,

Last week,Greater New York Councils’ Scouting family suffered a tragic loss.  Eagle Scout Daniel Rak,18,died while volunteering with Troop 469,Brooklyn,last Wednesday evening.  Daniel was last seen swimming in the Delaware River,which borders the property of Ten Mile River Scout Reservation.  Troop leadership immediately notified emergency services and a search and rescue effort was coordinated by the National Park Service,Narrowsburg Fire Department,Sullivan County Sheriff’s Department,Highland Fire Department,Sullivan County Dive Team and the New York State Police Aviation.  Sadly,despite the efforts of so many people involved,Daniel did not survive.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Daniel’s family and everyone affected by this tragic accident.

Below,please find details regarding the funeral arrangements for Daniel.

If you have any questions,please do not hesitate to ask your District Executive.
