I received a nice new Troop neckerchief yesterday. Fine looking piece of cloth! I'll be on the look out for some Scouts wearing it.Ever wonder why so many of our Troops and Packs are 800 numbered units here in the "Hills"?
The reason is that way back, after the Lonesome Pine Council merged with the Blue Grass, we were the 8th District and they focused all of their new unit numberings to begin in the 800 range. Now there were some old units like 10, 12, and 27 that didn't convert and it was a big mess, but no one wanted to give up their old number.
So any way, welcome new Troop 859 from Lexington! We'll make you honorary members of the great Lonesome Pine District.
