Scouts Howl in Support Of F.C. City Schools

Cub Scout Pack 657 will be howling — literally — at 8 p.m. tonight during the full moon.

The purpose of the howling is to show support for Falls Church City Public Schools and remind the rest of the scouts that, despite the current need to distance, everyone is still a part of the pack.

In order to do their best howling, scouts are asked to stand either on their front porch, in their backyard or by an open window, look up toward the moon and howl so all their neighbors can hear them. The goal is for the scouts to howl for at least a minute, but even longer if they can manage it.

For the scouts that need help learning how to howl, they can check out Pack parent Caroline Sucher’s video at facebook.com/caroline.sucher/videos/10218476202710459.
