Scouts spend night aboard battleship

Cub Scout Pack 533 of Birmingham recently spent the night aboard the USS Alabama in Mobile.

The Pack toured the USS Alabama, the USS Drum submarine and military aircraft and ground vehicles on the battleship quarters used by Navy servicemen during World War II.

Fifty Cub Scouts, fathers and grandfathers in attendance gained a better understanding and appreciation for the contributions made by military personnel in times of conflict.

Cub Scout Pack 533 meets at Oak Mountain Church on Highway 119 and State Road 14. Anyone interested in Pack 533 can contact Cubmaster Carl Lund at 504-5200 for more information.
