Amherst, Merrimack Cub Scouts achieve Arrow of Light award

Three boys recently attained the highest honor a Cub Scout can achieve: the Arrow of Light award. Eli Young, of Amherst; Carson Petrie, of Merrimack; and Harrison Harmon, of Amherst, members of Cub Scout Pack 48, chartered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, were presented the award in a recent ceremony at the Merrimack Ward building at 110 Concord St., Nashua. Recipients have been active members of their den for at least six months, completed at least eight of the 20 activity badge requirements in the Webelos program and participated in a day hike or overnight camp-out. They also learned and applied in their lives the Boy Scout laws, mottos and oaths, and have participated in a Boy Scout troop activity and meeting to prepare them for the crossover to Boy Scouts. Assistant Cubmaster Stuart Harmon and Webelos Den Leader Jessica Warner were present, as well as each of the boys’ parents and the rest of their pack members. Different colored feathers were presented to the boys in a headband, each feather representing each of the core values of Scouting.
