SCOUTS GET LAW ENFORCEMENT POST

The Shawnee Boy Scouts Council has a new opportunity for boys and girls interested in law enforcement.

Youth ages 14 to 20 that have completed the eighth grade may participate in the new Boy Scouts Law Enforcement Explorer Post. There will be a First Nighter for Exploring event Tuesday, May 27 at 7 p.m. in the Cape Girardeau Police Department second floor training room.

Leadership for the Law Enforcement Post will come from local police officers and interested members of the community. Skills surrounding law enforcement and police work including crime prevention will be "explored" during monthly meetings.

Exploring is a dynamic and flexible coeducational program designed to help community organizations serve youth. It can influence and enrich the lives of youth as they learn about career opportunities.

As members of the greater St. Louis Law Enforcement Explorer Cluster, Explorers from the Cape Girardeau Post will be eligible to attend the Law Enforcement Training Academy at Maryville University in Town and Country this summer
