So many people were distrusting of our government and felt the questions on the form were an invasion of privacy. That’s an ongoing issue and is no different today.

With cooler temps moving in, Linden is getting ready for Fall events. We had a great Cub Scout signup last week and a good group of 5-10-year-old kids ready to start their Scouting life. Boy Scouts are also becoming active again, so get in touch with our Scoutmaster Barry Jackson if you are interested in getting into Scouting at 903 278-2438.
