Blue & Gold

I had the opportunity to attend Pack 12's Blue and Gold the other evening. WOW!

I've been to several B & G's, but their "Chinese New Year Celebration" was the best I have ever seen. Games, decorations, songs, skits, cheers, prizes, awards, and of course Chinese food. A huge crowd too. Leaders in uniform. Scouts in uniform (with neckerchief). The Rotary Club, who Charter's the Pack, was even there and presented them a check. It was like a page out of "Boy's Life Magazine".

Pack 12 has been around for almost 40 years now. It was started by Don Combs' grandmother and is Pack 12, because she started with 12 Scouts. The flag pole in the Pikeville City Park was donated by the Pack and still has a plaque there.

Great Cub Scout Packs consist of good Chartered Partners, Trained Leaders, involved parents, and happy Scouts. Pack 12 is hitting on all cylinders!
