Pack 7193 teamed up with the Camp Verde Public Works Department in Camp Verde, Arizona, to refurbish the “Welcome to Camp Verde” sign and several other signs at Fort Verde Mobile Park.
Some of the signs were more than 20 years old and needed an update. The faded and rusty signs were cleaned, repainted and reinstalled by the Cub Scouts and workers.
The project signals the start of a promising partnership between the Cub Scouts and the town for future community efforts. Several pack members shared how proud and excited they were to help, while public works staff expressed gratitude for the extra hands.
“It was great doing that for the kids … it’s awesome that the Cub Scouts are here and active and lending a hand,” Ground Maintenance Supervisor Triston Laubinger said.
