An act of kindness and
patriotism by Arab Cub Scout Den 6 members was recognized
recently by the recipients of their hard work. Members
of the 391st Fighter Squadron and the U.S. Army Rapid
Equipping Force sent certificates of appreciation and an
American flag that was flown in Afghanistan to the Den
members. The certificates and the flag was presented to the
Arab City Council by Cub Scout Pack 60, Den 6 during a
ceremony Tuesday night. The award will be displayed in
the Arab City Hall lobby.
Debora Knighten said the
Pack 60 cub scouts collected supplies, CD's, toiletries,
snacks, and a lot of other items. The items were then
packed into "Care" packages and sent to military personnel
in Iraq and Afghanistan. Knighten said the "Care"
project is part of a program to to help the youngsters grow
into men.
Arab Mayor
Gary Beam accepted the shadow boxed items from the scouts
and thanked them for their support of the troops. He
said the council was inspired by the scouts acts of
kindness. "I already have a place in mind to hang
this." Beam said.
