Augusta Cub Scout Pack 684 held a “Touch a Truck” event Oct. 23 at Mill Park in Augusta. Youth from around the area climbed on and in large rigs and small earth-movers, learning from the owners how each worked.
The event also had information about Cub Scouting.
“It was great to see kids having fun and learning and exploring. We will have this again next year,” Cubmaster Shawn McFarland said, according to a news release from Charles Mahaleris, Kennebec Valley District vice chair.
He thanked NRF, Maine X Construction, Steven A McGee Construction, New Gen Powerline, Bisson transport, and the City of Augusta for their support.
