On Sunday, December 20th, 2020 in Jenkintown Town Square – Jenkintown Borough Council awarded local Jenkintown Scout Troops a special Jenkintown Service Badge.
The Jenkintown Community is blessed to have dedicated Scouts who serve our community. In 2019 and in 2020, during the Covid pandemic, our wonderful, dedicated scouts (and their Leaders) have found ways to serve the Jenkintown community. Jenkintown Scouts have made blankets for babies at local hospitals for MLK day of service, performed clean ups of Jenkintown Town Square, provided supplies for the local dog rescue, Kazoodles, and held food drives for the Jenkintown Food Cupboard.
Thanks to the following organization and people for making this happen:
Jim Riggins for working with the Scouts on the Townsquare clean-up events
Kathy Liang, a Senior at Abington Friends School, a member of JEAC and a Girl Scout, for coming up with the Jenkintown Service Badge idea, researching the rules and presenting the idea to Council.
JCA for funding the badges.
JEAC Committee person, Maureen Lucac for all her work on this project – from project conception to finding and working with the vendor (what is Maureen’s title with the JEAC) – Maureen made this happen.
Felicity Smith for the beautiful badge design.
