Cub Scout Pack 65 in Coventry is reeling after their storage building was broken into, causing significant damage and theft. Troop leader Brad Manning expressed dismay at the situation, noting the impact on the young scouts who had their trust shattered. The thieves took wires, copper pipes, tools, and even key pieces of the troop’s Pinewood Derby track, a cherished event for the Cub Scouts.
The troop is now seeking community support, launching a GoFundMe campaign to raise $25,000 to cover the damages. They have already seen an outpouring of donations from near and far, showing solidarity with the scouts in their time of need. Although a police report has been filed, there have been no updates on the perpetrators. Despite the setback, Manning remains optimistic and grateful for the support received thus far. The Coventry community and beyond are rallying around Cub Scout Pack 65 as they work to recover from this unfortunate incident.
