Pack 3049 (Lakewood Elementary, Holland) was featured in the Holland sentinel today for collecting toys for the Toys for Tots program. This kind of publicity is great! The public needs to see our scouts doing scout-like stuff. These kind of articles show the public that your unit is actively teaching the boys the values that make scouting so great. Way to go, Randy!
This is a good reminder to the rest of us to do better about publicizing our boys' Good Turns. I know it's been a couple of years since I sent anything to the Sentinel about our boys. Anybody else been in the paper and want to share?

Pack 3049 is in today's Holland Sentinel (May 1) for helping clean up the property of their charter sponsor Lakewood Elementary School. The Logan family was also present and helping, although had to leave before we took the picture, sorry.

ROBINSON TOWNSHIP — A local Cub Scout pack held its annual Blue and Gold Banquet on Saturday night, while also celebrating 100 years of scouting in America.
The Robinson Township Pack 3032 banquet included the scouts' crossover ceremony, which signifies the boys' crossing over from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts.
This annual rite of passage was different than past Blue and Gold banquets, because this year is the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouts of America.
The Grand Haven Tribune has a nice article about a boy from Pack 3165 selling $2,772 in popcorn. This earned him bragging rights as the top Lakeshore District salesperson and a college scholarship.
