CNMI District Celebrates Scouting’s 101st Birthday


In celebration of Boy Scouting Week, the CNMI District held a Scout Picnic on Saturday, Feb. 12, at the American Memorial Park in Saipan. The Scouts enjoyed various activities and competitions like knot tying and lashing, talaya throwing, kite making, and coconut husking on the Saturday event. Presentations were also given by the Department of Lands and Natural Resources' Division of Fish and Wildlife in an effort to teach the Scouts about their local environment.
