Eight Cub Scouts cross over into Scouts BSA in Millersburg
Eight Holmes County Cub Scouts crossed into Scouts BSA at Sapp Run, starting a new round of leadership and service in Millersburg.
Eight Cub Scouts crossed over into Scouts BSA during the annual Scouters of Holmes County ceremony at Sapp Run in Millersburg, marking a formal move into the next stage of scouting and the broader responsibilities that come with it.
The crossover is one of scouting’s clearest transition points. Scouting America says Scouts BSA serves youth ages 11 to 17, and its crossover ceremonies are meant to show that shift in a way younger scouts can see and follow. In Holmes County, that step connects the end of Cub Scout learning to the more demanding work of troop life, where leadership, outdoor skills and service become a larger part of the program.
Scouters of Holmes County says its mission is to train tomorrow’s leaders by promoting outdoor youth activities and Scouting in Holmes County, Ohio. The organization is set up as a 501(c)(3), and its local footprint reaches Holmesville Pack 355, Millersburg Pack 357 and Berlin Pack 350, along with Holmesville Troop 355, Millersburg Troop 358 and Killbuck Troop 315. The county also has Holmes County Girls Troop 338 and Venture Crew 38, giving families more than one path through the scouting program.
That network matters in a county where volunteer groups depend on parents, mentors and church and civic ties to keep youth programs active. Scouters of Holmes County says the group began when scout enthusiasts met a few years ago to talk about the future of scouting here, and its public leadership includes board president Brodie DeHass, founding member Jeffrey B. Miller, founding member Tricia Mullet and assistant scoutmaster Jake Mullet. The crossover at Sapp Run gave that work a visible result: eight more Holmes County scouts moved into Scouts BSA, where the next stretch of participation asks more of them and gives the county another layer of young leaders to build on.
