Day 2: Our Cub Scouts became junior detectives today as they explored the exciting world of crime investigation, code breaking, and forensics! 🕵️🔍

We were honored to have therapy dog Mellow and Crime Stoppers dog Thor visit us and share how they help law enforcement and support crime-solving efforts in our communities. The Scouts learned about teamwork, observation skills, and the many ways both people and dogs make a difference in keeping others safe.

A big thank you to Mellow, Thor, and their handlers for an unforgettable hands-on learning experience! 🐾💙
