Pack 78 Salutes Vets on Veterans Day

Almost 90 years ago, the Allies and the Germans signed an agreement ending the worst war ever, World War I. Now, on the anniversary of that day, we celebrate Veterans Day to honor those veterans who have served our country in the military.


Sunday, November 11, over a dozen Pack 78 Cub Scouts honored our veterans by leading the Pledge of Allegiance at the Memorial Building in Framingham, MA. This ceremony is known as presenting the colors. The Cub Scouts respectfully filed into Veteran's Memorial Hall, gave their best pledge, and then retired quietly to the back of the hall, where they listened patiently to the speakers.

Good job, Scouts, in keeping your Cub Scout Promise!

Cub Radio Operators Ham it up at 50th JOTA

October 19 & 20 was the 50th Jamboree-on-the-Air, an annual Scouting and amateur radio event sponsored by the World Scout Bureau of the World Organization of the Scout Movement.

15 Pack 78 cub scouts and their parents visited the Framingham Amateur Radio Association on October 19 to participate in the Jamboree. Technical difficulties with the HF band were surmounted by the FARA members, and the scouts got to exchange message with scouts all over the world.
