Thief repays Cub Scouts he victimized
Scranton Times-Tribune ^ | 3/13/2004

St. Ann's Cub Scout Pack 50 has its money back, more than two years after the father of a scout took hundreds of dollars in proceeds from their Christmas 2001 fund-raiser.

Tina Muncie, a pack mother, said she got a Turkey Hill Minit Market money order in the mail Friday for $145. She forwarded it to the pack treasurer before noon, she said.

The amount won't be enough to get the scouts to the U.S.S. Intrepid in New York City -- their original goal -- but it's a start, Mrs. Muncie said.

William Ferrell, 43, of Taylor, pleaded guilty to theft last week in Lackawanna County Court. He was accused of stealing about $845 from the Scouts and from Mickman Brothers of Ham Lake, Minn., which supplied the Scouts with Christmas wreaths to sell as a fund-raiser.

Mr. Ferrell was also to pay the Scouts' outstanding bill at Mickman Brothers, estimated at $500 to $700. A woman who answered the phone there Friday said the Scout bill -- once written off as bad debt -- has been settled in full.

It's not nice to mess with Baden Powell's boys known to us as the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts.

What kind of useless scum would volunteer be a scout leader so as to get his hands on the young boys to molest them?

AND what kind of useless scum would defend their right to do that? I know the answer to this one.... the ACLU!

Agreed. At least this time they caught the worthless POS.
