West Frankfort Tiger Scouts den leader Terry Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief and joked about having a clearer basement and garage.
Rhodes explained, “We have been collecting recyclable materials for the past four months. We spent a few days crushing plastic and other materials before taking the load to Southern Recycling in Carbondale.
“We will continue the recycling project and are using this as a community service project to teach others about recycling and saving the earth,” Rhodes said. “The Tiger Scouts want to help others, and we decided to donate the money we collected to Franklin County Animal Control to help Jarrett Broy, the supervisor, and his staff to help care for the animals.”

Cub Scouts adopt Marines in Iraq
By DIANA COSTELLO
THE JOURNAL NEWS
Ten-year-old Sean Dowling has never met any of the members of the Marine Corps reconnaissance unit that his Cub Scout pack has adopted, and yet he said it felt as if he was writing to an old friend when he sat down last night to send them a letter.
"It was just a simple letter like how I'd write to my friend if they were in another country," he said. "I consider all the Marines friends because they help our country the most."
The Carmel Cub Scouts met last night in the basement of the Drew United Methodist Church to write letters to the Marines of Alpha Company, 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, who are stationed in Fallujah, Iraq, west of Baghdad.
The boys also will send packages with hand warmers, scarves, snacks and Silly String to the Marines overseas. Marines use Silly String to check for tripwires before walking through a doorway, the Cubs learned last night.

Tiger Cub Scouts chat via ham radio with astronaut
By WALTER O'BRIEN
Correspondent
Ground control to Astronaut Bob: There's a whole pack of Tiger Cub Scouts down here who want to chat.
The New Providence Amateur Radio Club brought outer space a little closer to home for children from the Watchung Hills area Jan. 7 as they operated a public ham radio station at the Berkeley Heights Community Center.
The event marked the club's participation in the annual worldwide ham radio event known as Kid's Day. Sponsored by the national amateur radio organization known as the American Radio Relay League, it's meant to pass a passion for getting "on the air" to the younger generation.
Members of Boy Scout Tiger Cub Den No. 268 from Berkeley Heights lined up to ask astronaut Bob Barns, KB2IKC, the club's resident extraterrestrial expert, about space travel and the solar system. Barns answered their questions over the two-way radio.

Cub Scout saves his dad’s life
by ian rollins
albany democrat-herald
As a Cub Scout, Chase Devaney learned not to panic in an emergency.
That training came in handy Dec. 26, when his dad, Shannon Devaney, was having a massive heart attack in Stayton. Chase, 10, simply called his mom, Teresa Devaney, and she called 911.
“Chase was calm the whole time,” Shannon, 39, said last week at his Albany home.
“It was kind of scary at first,” Chase recalled. “After we went to the hospital to see him, I knew he’d be all right. But I was still scared.”

Properly Displaying "Half-Staff" Flags
I recently ran across the following post on the Cub Scout Talk Yahoo group. Thought everyone would benifit from Jamie's info.
When President Reagan died I did some research to find out how to display our pack flag properly, since it is attached to a staff in a manner that does not allow for being displayed at "half-staff". What I found was the following - there is a tradition, not documented in the Flag Code, but noted in many other places, which allows for the display of black or purple ribbons on the flag pole, between the top of the flag and the finial.

If your unit wishes, you may want to follow this tradition during the mourning period for President Ford.
