Professional Scouter Runs Boston Marathon for Sandy Hook Cub Scouts
Professional Scouter Jonathan Pleva’s Boston Marathon run has a big story behind it. Did you catch what it is on Scouting Newsroom?
Pleva was the interim Scout Executive for the Connecticut Yankee Council during a tragedy that rocked the Scouting community and the nation: the Sandy Hook shooting. His council covered the area that lost Cub Scouts and Scout siblings in the horrific event.
The community, particularly Pleva, didn’t know exactly what to do to help families who lost loved ones. Sure, Scouters banded together to raise significant relief funds, but Pleva’s larger call to action came years later.
