As part of their summer activity program, Pack 802 Lantana Webelos 1 Cub Scouts, led by Michael Rieder of Lantana, organized an International Scout Activity Event and hosted a Scout from England on July 23rd.
Special guest was Hamish Lehan, 14, from East Grinstead, West Sussex in England, who gave a talk about Lord Baden Powell – founder of the World Scout Movement – and the history of scouting. A lively question and answer session followed, including a comparison of British and American uniforms and a popular sampling of food and drink from England.
“This counts towards the pack’s International Activities Badge and was a fun and interesting way to learn about how scouting started and what it’s like to be a scout in England,” said Rieder.
The event was sponsored by The British Emporium in Grapevine.
Hamish is a guest of the Bailey family in Argyle, and this is his first trip to America.
