Woo Hoo for Talented Team Tyburski!!


At the Blue and Gold banquet for Pack 525 of Bentonville the family duo of Nick and Amanda Tyburski were both awarded their beads, neckerchief and woggle.  The room was packed with enthusiastic Cub Scouts, parents and many honored guests from S8-16-11-1 who attended to honor these two fine leaders for their accomplishment and to say thanks for their leadership of this Pack.  An appearance of Baden-Powell himself (looked a lot like Pettus Kincannon!) began the story of Scouting followed by the beading ceremony.  Scoutmaster of Troop 525, Dennis Lowe, assisted Wood Badge Scoutmaster Spain in the presentation of the recognition items.

You all will be glad to know that you can still say "42" and get the same response we heard at the course.  By the end of the night the whole audience would yell "42" and get the proper "Woo Hoo"!


42....WOO HOOOOOO!!!!
