Samantha the Skunk is a story about not smoking. The kids drew pictures after they hear the program.

This troop has been together since they were Daisies. We do a lot of community service with the Valley Parish Nurse Program.

Last year the Parish Nurses received grant funding to do a drug prevention education calendar. The Scouts did a pilot project by doing several small presentations and having students do drawings. Calendars were made and distributed to elementary schools in Derby, Seymour and Oxford.

They wanted to do it on a bigger scale. The girls called up all the libraries and requested the space.

Pablo Picasso drew pictures, but in a different way - cubism.

Some of our kids in the program might not be as committed as I want them to be. We'll weed them out and get some other guys, and we'll confirm our commitment to the guys who believe in what we're doing 100 percent.
