These Eskies belong to Montmorency Scout Group and were purchased by a former Scout several years ago as a gift to the Montmorency Scout Troop for all they had done for him. Apparently, he bought one soon after starting work and his parents chipped in an equal amount to purchase the second. The Scout Troop named one "Billy", the other "Bob", in recognition of the former Scout's nickname, "BillyBob". Cheers, Joseph Group Leader - Montmorency Hi

Zachary’s offense? Taking a camping utensil that can serve as a knife, fork and spoon to school. He was so excited about recently joining the Cub Scouts that he wanted to use it at lunch. School officials concluded that he had violated their zero-tolerance policy on weapons, and Zachary was suspended and now faces 45 days in the district’s reform school.
