The 2013 Scout Surge honored public safety officials on 9/11.
Photos and words by Theresa Grushkin
Cub Scouts around the country participate in Scout Surge every September 11. Scouts are encouraged to find a way to honor 9/11 in their communities. For the third year, cub scouts from Newark Pack 441 have gone to local Newark Fire Stations and the Newark Police Department.
The boys make baked goods and cards/letters/posters to present to the firefighters and police officers. The boys thank the fire fighters and police officers for their service to our community and for putting their lives on the line for us every day.
Thank you Newark Fire and Newark Police! You make our community a better place.
