Wild Kid Acres’ 2018 trailblazing units’ “FIRSTS”
February 2018: Pack 2018: One of the country’s first all-girl packs, and possibly THE first all-girl pack in the US. Many pf the girls from Pack 2018 joined Troop 2018. Unfortunately, COVID numbers and some military transfers made the Pack dwindle to an unsustainable number, so the pack ultimately merged with Pack 454.
