Town of Huntington Councilman Cook Surprises Boy Scout Troop #34

Scouts of Troop #34 received a surprise visit from Councilman Eugene Cook during their Merit Badge class on Citizenship in the Community taught by Counselor and Assistant Scout Master, Janet Heller-Smitelli, on February 3rd, 2016.   Just as they were discussing how decisions are made regarding development in our Town and how issues and problems are resolved, in walked Councilman Cook. “The scouts present then learned firsthand about our community directly from one of our leaders. We were all very thankful for the time Mr. Cook provided us and the scouts were truly inspired.” commented Janet Heller-Smitelli.

Councilman Cook stated, “It was an honor to visit with Boy Scout Troop #34, seeing the future leaders of tomorrow taking an interest in their community and government.  I am thankful for the privilege that is allowed to me as a Huntington Town Councilman to be involved with these young men who are a role model to us all, because of their community service.”
