Mayor Andy Cook held the ninth-annual Westfield Breakfast for Scouting on March 12 at The Bridgewater Club. The breakfast raised $35,450 in donations to assist the Scouting program in the Del-Mi District, which includes Westfield. Cook said it was the largest amount the city has collected. Westfield has eight Cub Scout packs (696 youth members), four Boy Scout troops (201 youth) and a Venturing Crew (10 members). All three levels have a combined 230 adult volunteers. In 2013, Westfield had more than 2,300 hours of community service volunteered by scouts and 17 boys earned the rank of Eagle Scout. (Photos by Robert Herrington)
