Krystle and Meli Castro Give Of Themselves For Oak Lawn Cub Scouts

OAK LAWN, IL — Without community leaders, Oak Lawn wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Carly Bishop, an Oak Lawn reader who nominated Krystle and Meli Castro.

How do you know this community leader?

Cub Scouts

What does this community leader do?

For several years now Krystle and Meli Castro have volunteered to be the Cubmaster and Committee Chair of Cub Scout Troop 3618.

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored?

These wonderful individuals have helped our Cub Scout Troop grow, adapt, and change. They saw us through virtual meetings during the pandemic putting in extra time to make meetings meaningful. They are training the new Cubmaster and Committee Chair this year as their children have become deeply involved with girls' softball (for which they also coach and volunteer!) These two go above and beyond to make life more fun and adventurous for our local children and families.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

They give of themselves freely, humbly and without ever expecting a return on their investment other than stronger, more worldly children who follow the Cub Scout motto: Do Your Best!

This content is brought to our community in partnership with T-Mobile.
