February was Scouting month in the United States. It was the anniversary of the founding of Boy Scouts of America. On February 8, 1910, Boys Scouts of America was started, inspired by and modeled on the Boy Scout Association established by Baden-Powell in Britain in 1908.
In order to celebrate this month, local Cub Scout Pack #4925 had boys wear their uniforms to school during Scout Week (between 2/5-9), had boys wear their uniform to church on Scout Sunday (either 2/4 or 2/11), and had a window promoting Scouts set up at Libby Sports Center. They also had a roller-skating party and pizza at the Carousel Roller rink and had their Blue and Gold Banquet to celebrate the anniversary.
The local Pack continues to work on teaching the boys about the different aspects of the Scout Law: A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.
They want to extend their thanks to those people, businesses, and organizations that have helped them through the years. This includes the American Legion, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department, Kootenai Country Art Gallery, Libby Youth Center, Elks Lodge, Heritage Museum, Lincoln Lanes, Carousel Roller rink, Timberlane Campground, Cabinet Peaks Medical Center, Northwest Community Health Center, Libby Elementary School and Public Schools, Lincoln County Commissioners – Mark Peck, and Boys Scout Troop 1971.
