Henry Park Pelican (Cub) Scout

The Akela Award represents the highest honor a Cub Scout can achieve, marking the end of a challenging yet rewarding journey. There are a total of nine recipients from HPPS. These students have shown dedication to scouting and held various leadership positions. Every recipient has invested tremendous effort and faced numerous challenges to reach this milestone. This journey is far from easy, and many Scouts have given up along the way. Parental support has been invaluable in helping these Cubs succeed, especially as they dedicated countless hours to completing their online journals. These journals capture their years in scouting, reflecting on every year they participated, every arrow they earned, and each milestone they achieved. Congratulations to all the Akela Award recipients. You have truly earned this honor, and we couldn't be prouder of your accomplishments.
