All nine of the Webelos II were awarded the Arrow of Light, the highest award in Cub Scouting, during the April 22 Pack meeting. Afterward, all the boys participated in Crossover, reciting the 12 Points of the Boy Scout Law as they crossed over to their chosen Boy Scout Troop. Those who crossed over to Pack 73 were Cameron Bigelow, Matthew Castle, Shaun Cesario, Justin Franzwa, Caleb Johnson, Conor Kilgore, Felix Satin and Austin Whitley. David Carruthers crossed over to Troop 41. The leaders also crossed over: Jeff Franzwa joined Troop 73 as its Chaplain; JD Carruthers will serve in a dual role, as he crossed over to Troop 41 and to Troop 73 to serve on their Troop Committees as a Troop Trainer. Below are photos from the ceremonies.
Den 9 visited Camp Nelson, south of Lexington, on March 6 for a hike into history. The boys learned about the Civil War camp’s history as a recruiting station for African American Union troops as they walked across fields and forest to explore earthworks and the remnants of forts above the Kentucky River and Hickman Creek. The boys also learned about Leave No Trace and participated in a Leave No Trace service project, cleaning up litter along the trail and throughout the camp. Here are a few photos from the hike:
This year’s Blue & Gold Banquet is set for 6-8pm on Saturday, March 20, at Centenary. Plan on an evening of fun, with food from Fazoli’s and cake from the cake contest for dessert. This year, the top cakes from each category will be auctioned (by an award-winning auctioneer!) to benefit the Pack and the Centenary Love Fund, which provides assistance to those in need throughout the community. (Centenary is Pack 73’s sponsor). Please see the
Start your Ovens! post for more information. So bake those cakes – we’ll need them! We’ll also have some additional “special entertainment” provided by a group of Den leaders.
The parent chair for this year’s banquet is Patsy Carruthers. She is looking for volunteers to fill roles at the banquet, including welcoming, cake contest help, auction assistance, and clean-up crew. Please contact her at patsycat01@hotmail.com or 264-9775 if you can help.
