PHOTOS: Boy Scouts Troop 12 Gains Another Five

Five boys crossed over from Ledyard's Cub Scouts Pack 12 to the Boy Scouts Troop 12 this weekend.

 

Family and friends of Pack 12 cub scouts celebrated the crossing over of five cubs into boy scouts Saturday at the United Methodist Church in Gales Ferry. The boys received the arrow of light award, which is the highest award you can receive in cub scouting. They crossed over to Troop 12 (also sponsored by United Methodist Church) and they attended their first boy scout meeting Monday night.

There was a lasagna dinner and a fire juggler for entertainment for the kids.
