You have a group of 8-year-old boys coming to the house next week for a den meeting—now what? It will be OK; we understand, and we’re here to help. Joining us to explore the Core Value of compassion is Nancy Ferrell, a Cub Scout leader for over 28 years who had held many volunteer leadership positions in councils all over the country. She currently serves on the Pack Meeting Plan Task Force.

This segment is the perfect companion topic for the Part 1 segment of Compassion. Even if you don’t have any special-needs boys in your den or pack, we are certain you’ll find it enlightening. Joining us is Carla Bigelow, a 30-year volunteer with the Mount Baker Council in Everett, Wash. Over the past 17 years, Carla has been a foster parent to more than 150 children, most of whom had special needs.

Take a soft block of pinewood. Put some wheels on it that you grease with graphite and what do you have? The beginnings of a beloved work of art and engineering: a Pinewood Derby race car. For generations, young boys in Cub Scouts — with help from their dads, moms and other relatives — have made and raced these handmade cars during the quiet winter months. This year, 1,400 Burlington County boys are now participating in the Pinewood Derby at various pack meetings throughout the county.
