Misty Rathbun Awarded Beads!

Misty Rathbun received her hard-earned beads, woggle and neckerchief at Pack 53's April 17th Pack meeting. Glenda Doss and Don Kinser assisted with the ceremony.

It was a lovely outdoor event on a gorgeous Spring evening overlooking the pond at Liberty Park in Greenwood.  Before the ceremony the boys planted a lot of trees around the pond that are sure to make the park more beautiful for many years to come.  This is just one example of how hard working these dedicated leaders are, how much they care about their community, and how much fun they bring to their Dens and Pack.  Please join me in extending congratulations to Misty for her great leadership!

Glenda Doss places Misty's Wood Badge regalia around her neck.

...and here is Misty with her Den...the real reason she decided to attend Wood Badge.
