Pack 3081, Billings

Pack 3081, Billings, participated in Scouting for Food, Scout Sunday and wore uniforms to school during February. 

As a Pack, they collected 976 pounds of food for the food bank! (Number one in the District.) They had 35 Scouts participate in at least one of the three days it takes to put the event together. The temperature on collection day was 5 degrees and they had 8 inches of snow. They still had 21 Scouts bundled up with their families and sleds to serve the community.

Multiple Scouts participated in Scout Sunday by serving drinks at their church, holding the door for members and even watching from home because of COVID. Things looked different this year, but they were all Reverent in their own ways.”
