Catholic Scouting Retreat

Congratulations to the boys attending the Cub Scout retreat. Four boys earned their Light of Christ and 13 boys earned their Parvuli Dei. Good job!

Code Adam averted, Child recovered

Wanted to pass on a bit of good news from Troop 509, Hurlburt Fld.

 

** Code Adam averted, child recovered** 

We were out at the Bass Pro shop area at the Destin Commons tonight (13 Nov) for a fundraiser and around 7pm one of my Life Scouts, Kendrick Rattray, noticed a small child about 3-4 years old ran out of the Bass Pro building without any supervision. Kendrick, Troop 509 Life Scout, noticed and quickly notified me.  I assessed the situation and told him to go after the small child who was about to walk into the path of vehicles.  Running as fast as he could, Kendrick was able to stop the child as a car was about to drive by.  I ran inside the Bass Pro building to report the run-away child to one of the managers and just about the same time, I overheard the parents reporting they had no idea where their child was. The call for a code Adam was about to go over the radio when I yelled over and stopped the code.  I informed them that my Scout outside had caught the little boy and was bringing him inside.  The parents and Bass Pro staff was happy and a potential crisis was averted. I’m really proud of my Scout way to go Kendrick!
