On November 21, 2016, Edmonson County Cub Scout Pack 597 celebrated the awarding of five Arrow of Light Awards, the highest award a Cub Scout can achieve.  To achieve this award, the Scouts were led by Den Leader Aaron Willis, who was subsequently honored by the Scouts for his leadership over the past 4.5 years.  

During their venture to achieve the Arrow of Light, the Scouts became efficient in first aid, camping, fitness, and citizenship to name a few. The Scouts achieving the Arrow of Light were Dakotah Curtis, Brycen Daniels, Tristan Lucas, Levi Meredith and Jason Willis.  After the Scouts were awarded the Arrow of Light, the Scouts joined Edmonson County Boy Scout Troop 597.

Prior to joining Troop 597, the twelve points of the Boy Scout Law were read in depth: "A Scout is
 Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent."  All five Scouts agreed to live according to the Scout Law.  The ceremony to join Edmonson County Troop 597 was conducted by the current Boy Scouts: Haydn Burrell, Dalton Curtis, Derick Jaggers, and J.T. Stewart.  After the Scouts were accepted into Edmonson County Troop 597, a letter was read to the Scouts from Representative Brett Guthrie:

“Congratulations on officially becoming a Boy Scout! Your hard work and leadership  are to be commended.

The Second District of Kentucky is fortunate to have such a talented and dedicated individual.  I join your family and friends in applauding you, and I wish you every 
success in your future endeavors

– Brett Guthrie”


The Scouts recognized District Executive Jonathan Boles for his work to help establish Edmonson County Troop 597 by presenting him a Troop 597 Neckerchief that each Scout had signed.  Edmonson County Cub Scout Pack 597 and Troop 597 are sponsored by the Edmonson County Lions Club.

If you've ever been to Edmonson County Circuit Court Clerk Tanya Hodges' office, you've probably wondered why there's a Christmas tree up all year long. The truth is, it's only a Christmas tree during the Christmas season. Throughout the rest of the year, it's decorated for the appropriate holiday at the time.

Currently, you'll find a "Thanksgiving Tree," decorated with colored leaves designed by the fourth grade classes of South Edmonson Elementary. 

"The students wrote what they are thankful for on the leaves for me to hang on the tree," said Circuit Court Clerk Hodges. "We decorate the tree for all different seasons. I thought this was very nice of them and they deserved some credit."


The leaves were decorated by fourth graders from classes of Mrs. Kim Taylor, Mrs. Lisa Basil, Mrs. Heather White and Mrs. Heather Deweese.

Senior Food Pantry Holds Ribbon Cutting

Senior Food Pantry Coordinator Vickie Walker celebrated the official ribbon cutting of the newly constructed Senior Food Pantry, located inside the Brownsville Community Center today along with volunteers, officials, and the Edmonson County Chamber of Commerce. 

Several months ago, Judge Executive Wil Cannon thought that constructing a new pantry inside the community center would be better use of county funds than paying rent in another building. The total price for the entire project was less than one year's rent in the former location.

"I want to thank all of Edmonson County for this," said Walker. "We just appreciate everyone's help so much."

She also thanked the Great Onyx Job Corps Carpentry division and Judge Cannon. 

"None of this would've even been possible without Judge Cannon's work on this," she said.

She also credited Deputy Jailer Todd Vincent for his hard work and design help of the structure. Also attending was State Senator-elect Steve Meredith.

Walker also presented Judge Cannon a plaque in appreciation for his labor, help, and his role in seeing the project completed. "I don't feel like I deserve this," Cannon said. "She's the hero, not me. She volunteers here all the time."

Those in attendance enjoyed fellowship and refreshments afterwards.

Edmonson Voice Staff Report
Kyrock Elementary and friends have collected 2330 ounces, or just over 145 pounds of aluminum can pull tabs since last November. School officials said the tabs will be recycled and the funds will go the Nashville Ronald McDonald House and Family Room.

Each year, schools across the country join forces to help Ronald McDonald facilities and Kyrock was one of 59 schools throughout Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama that collected for Nashville.

"Kyrock students proudly contribute to this charity for hospitalized children and their families," the school said. "The community is asked to also collect and leave pull tabs at the school office. Volunteers will package and weigh donations throughout the year for next year's pull tab challenge."

Local Family Resource Centers Still Have Christmas Angels Available For Adoption

Edmonson Voice Staff
The Edmonson County Family Resource Centers still need assistance with the adoption of some Christmas Angels that are available. The program helps underprivileged families ease the burden of Christmas shopping and provides gifts to those that might not otherwise have opportunity.

Not all gifts are toys and games. Several items presented to the kids include clothing, basic needs, and personal hygiene products.

Any donations are accepted, but a gift in the amount of $100-$150 will help one needy Edmonson County student have a little brighter Christmas this year. You can also choose a specific child and do the shopping yourself. Several wish lists from the students are available.

For more information on this wonderful county program, please contact 270-597-9866 or call the Edmonson County Board of Education and ask for the Family Resource Center.
