Thank you to Lynnwood Councilmember George Hurst for helping our Webelos with their Building a Better World badge! They were to meet with a government or community leader to learn about their role in the community and discuss an important issue facing the community.
Councilmember Hurst gave us a tour of the Lynnwood City Council Chambers, told us what a councilmember does and answered questions. We talked about the light rail, water and sewer, swim lessons for kids, construction projects, and more.
The Scouts even got to have a mock city council meeting and sit on the dais to discuss the important issue of adding more ice cream shops to Lynnwood. The vote was 2-1 in favor of more ice cream shops. One suggested benefit was that more ice cream shops would bring in more revenue for local dentists.
Councilmember Hurst also walked us over to Veterans Park to show us the new Gold Star Families Memorial Monument.
Thank you again Councilmember Hurst! The Scouts learned a lot and had a great time.
