Golden flamingos land in neighborhoods to support Cub Scout
Cub Scout Pack 185 from Clarksville, Tennessee, launched a meaningful project by spray-painting flamingos gold and making yard signs to raise awareness for one of their members who is battling cancer.
Throughout September, the golden flamingo flocks will be placed in neighbors’ yards to spread positivity and encourage participation in the project. Those who are “flocked” can pass the flamingos along, take photos to share with the Cub Scouts and help track each flock’s journey.
Participants will receive a custom patch, making the initiative both impactful and interactive.
