Upcountry Cub Scout Troop Back in Action

slide6.pngA local Cub Scout pack is back in business after a lengthy break from meetings. Pack 89, based in Pioneer, had discontinued further meetings due to an apparent lack of community interest and no scout master. Anxious and devoted cubs were left in the dark as to when and if their pack would become active again. But Pack 89 resumed meetings again last month after some local boys and their parents made inquiries. Helping the pack get started again was Boy Scout District Commissioner Tom Harris. The Cub Scout Motto is to “do your best” and boys are taught the importance of helping others. Patches and beads are earned as scouts achieve certain goals. Cub Scouts are for boys in grades 1 through 5, and Boy Scouts are grades 6 through 11. Pack 89 now has about nine boys and meetings are being held at the Faith Lutheran Church in Pioneer. For more information on meetings, you can contact Mr. Harris at 295-2343.
