The first meeting took place in the Creekbank school. with Arndt being investited as Scout Master at Camp Bosworth. The Cub Pack was formed by John Wagner and Donald Weber, and Lorraine Arndt formed a Girl Guide troup in 1949. The Boy Scouts received their Charter in 1948. The location of the meetings shifted to Alma in late 1949/early 1950, as it was more a more central location. Scout Master Robert Arndt was born in 1929, and passed away in 2012. He was a lifelong resident of Alma, and served with the Boy Scouts for over half a century. |
