Lake Wilderness Arboretum Foundation recently announced a new partnership with Maple Valley Cub Scout Pack 459 as the official sponsor.

Pack representative Bree Devlin reached out to Foundation president Noel Paterson on a charter agreement for 2014, which the Board agreed to in January. The Foundation provides facilities and resources as needed to continue the programs of the pack. In addition, the two groups work together to champion Scouting as part of the Arboretum’s service to the community.

“The current parent-led Scouting committee works with the Arboretum Board, securing space for Cub Scout Pack programs or time at the arboretum to conduct tours of the grounds and gardens, in addition to other planned events,” Paterson said. “As a nonprofit organization, we have worked with Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops for many years, and we think sponsoring Cub Scout Pack 459 fits right in with our educational and community outreach.”
