They talked to students about their mission and the importance of protecting them. For more information, visit tur- tlerescueleague.com. A snapping turtle makes his way across the library floor.

BLUE AND GOLD BANQUET SPENCER — On Saturday, March 29, East Brookfield Pack 148 held their annual Blue and Gold Banquet at Mary, Queen of the Rosary Church in Spencer. The purpose of the Blue and Gold Banquet is to celebrate the pack’s anniversary, thank pack and den leaders, committee members, parents and those who have helped the pack. Cub Scouts are also awarded with their next rank. The Arrow of Light Den, in particular, is the main focus of the evening to cross them over to Boy Scouts Troop 138 in East Brookfield. This year there were three: Zachary Lentz, Cody Josti and Jason Brewster. The pack also celebrated another advancement of Wood Badge to its own Cubmaster, Timothy Josti Jr., and Assistant Cubmaster Andrew McCrillis. Wood Badge is the highest level of adult Scout leader training available. It was first presented in England by the founder of Scouting, Baden Powell, and he introduced the program to the United States in 1936. Wood Badge is advanced training for adult leaders in Scouting designed to enhance contemporary leadership skill and develop more effective Scouters. The Wood Badge program gives participants a greater understanding of Scouting aims and methods, while developing true Scout Spirit. It is antici- Courtesy photos pated that all people who complete Wood Badge training will continue to work actively in the Scouting program to further the aims and methods of Scouting.
