Abilene, KS, is a town full of history. From it's importance as the end of the Chisholm Trail to the Boyhood home of President Dwight D Eisenhower, we value our history in Abilene. What Abilene lacks, however, is a comprehensive listing of the history of Scouting in town. Thus, as Pack 240 plans for it's newly established future, we are also interested in collecting and recording our past. And we are asking for the community's help!
If you have any information about scouting in Abilene, please email us at AbilenePack240@gmail.com. While we are particularly interested in the history of our namesake, Pack 240, we are also looking for information on any of the packs or troops in Abilene. We will post any information we receive on this page. Specifically, we are looking for information such as active dates, Charter Organizations, Cubmaster/Scoutmaster, etc. And we would love any photographs you would be able to share!
