Each of these boys met all the requirements necessary to earn Cub Scouting's highest honor "Arrow of Light." This is the only Cub Scout award allowed to be worn on a Boy Scout uniform.

As each boy received his award, he then graduated from Cub Scouts into Boy Scouts. At the close of the ceremony, the boys crossed over a bridge to be welcomed into Boy Scout Troop 311 by committee member Mike Craycraft.

Rick Knight is the cub master of Pack 12 in Jackson.
