Parnell Boy Scouts Study 1st Aid, Prepare for Spaghetti Supper

Parnell Boy Scout Troop 131 members are studying First Aid, citizenship, and are getting ready for their annual spaghetti supper that will be held in March. It will be held March 16th from 5-8 pm at the Parnell American Legion for a free will donation. Proceeds will go to raise money for camp this year. There were 16 scouts and helpers present at Monday's meeting.

The troop will observe Scout Sunday at the Grant City Baptist Church this Sunday, February 10th, from 10:30. They will have breakfast at the Legion Hall and then travel to Grant City. They will eat a dinner afterwards.

Scouts learned about the difference between rescue breathing and CPR as well as the Heimlich Maneuver. They shared experiences with first aid and described three types of burns. They talked about choking.

Parnell Mayor Virginia Burns shared her duties as Mayor of Parnell and covered her obligations and covered the history of the town briefly. Scouts were given sales kits for ads that they are selling for their fundraising suppers this year. The scouts will not meet this week as they will be having Scout Sunday. They will resume their regular meetings next week.
