Two New Eagle Scouts
|
Troop 260 honored two new Eagle Scouts on January 7 in their traditional Eagle Scout Court of Honor at Second Baptist Church’s Fellowship Hall. For their Eagle Scout rank, the highest advancement level in Scouting, each planned, gathered funding and assembled the required work crew for an approved community service project. Robert Gilleran installed six small footbridges at key locations on the trail around White’s Pond at Sunrise Park. Jackson Smith created a prayer garden on the grounds of Our Lady of the Lake church in Southwick.

Cub Scouts Cross Over
|
This year, eight Cub Scouts of Pack 266 successfully completed their multi-year program of activities and learning, advancing to become Arrow of Light Cubs and cross over to become Boy Scouts. The Blue and Gold Banquet with its Arrow of Light ceremony and Boy Scout welcome was held in Father Ted Hall at Sacred Heart Church. It began with the usual recognitions and the tale of how the overall Boy Scout program began in The U. S., narrated nicely by Mike Cremmins, former Cubmaster and now Scoutmaster of Troop 260. Then the candles were lit – one for each recitation of the various parts of the Cub Scout promise, law and motto. As a Boy Scout archer sent arrows into a target, each Cub was named and given his credentials and a plaque with his own Arrow of Light.
