Supporting the Scouts braved the chilly weather on Sat., Jan. 6 for their annual bottle drive and raised over one thousand dollars. “The monies raised will help our Troop (youth 10 – 14 years old) attend a summer camp. This will be the first time since COVID that we will be doing a one-week summer camp., explained Scouter Cindy Hauck in an email to The Record. On behalf of 2nd Russell Scout Troop she expressed thanks to Embrun Independent for the use of the parking lot, the Beer Store for “making the process of returning items very easy” and the community for their donations and support.
