On May 16th, our troop had the pleasure of welcoming four new cub scouts from Pack 710 in Hacienda Heights. Over the past few years, Troop 985 has received more than 20 scouts from this outstanding pack, based at St. Matthew’s United Methodist Church. The convenient 10-minute drive over the hill to Whittier makes this transition seamless.
We’re especially excited to share that two of these new scouts are brothers to existing scouts in Troop 985, reinforcing the sense of family and community within our troop.
With these new scouts joining our ranks, we're excited to see our troop returning to its pre-pandemic strength. It's heartening to witness the resurgence of scouting, as it brings together like-minded families to enjoy the great outdoors, develop leadership skills, and, most importantly, have fun.
We’re thrilled to see scouting thriving again and look forward to the adventures and growth that lie ahead. Welcome to all our new scouts – we’re glad to have you on board!
