Local Boy Scout Troop 637 earned their “Citizenship in the Community” merit badge after attending the January 28 City of Castle Pines North city council meeting. One of the requirements of earning the Citizenship in the Community badge is to attend a city council meeting and choose one of the issues discussed at the meeting where a difference of opinions was expressed. The boys then had to explain to their Scout Master why they agree with one opinion more than another one.
