Marines Teaches Cub Scouts about the U.S. Flag

Gen. S.D. Butler Marine Corps League Detachment's Americanism Team addresses Cub Scouts at Chichester middle school

Last night, Thursday November 20, the Americanism Team, short one member due to illness, made a Mini- flag History presentation to Cub Scout Pack 495. Led by Cubmaster Ken Murphy, the pack had over 25 Cub Scouts and approximately 15 parents present to hear the Team make its presentation. The Pack meets at the Chichester middle School in Upper Chichester. Cubmaster Murphy emailed team member Marine Earle Drake this morning that he had never seen his Cubs as attentive as they were last night. After the meeting, cookies and donut holes, coffee and bottles of water were made available to the group.
