Cub Scouts to Pay Tribute to Medal of Honor Recipients
A day which many times comes and goes without much fanfare is March 25th, Medal of Honor Day. This year our local Cub Scout Pack 312 visited Bellevue Memorial Park on Saturday, March 21st, carrying with them letters to be sent to some of the living Medal of Honor recipients in California. The scouts also paid tribute by visiting the gravesite of Frank Fulton Ross, who earned the Medal of Honor during the Philippine Insurrection. Fulton was a Private, Company H, 1st North Dakota Volunteer Infantry, and one of a hand-picked group of soldiers known as “Young’s Scouts.”

His official citation reads:
“With 21 other scouts charged across a burning bridge, under heavy fire, and completely routed 600 of the enemy who were entrenched in a strongly fortified position.”

The Cub Scouts volunteered their time and efforts as a community service project, and the letters of gratitude will be forwarded by Bellevue Memorial Park to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society in South Carolina.
