On October 24, 2011, Stuart Jet Center opened its doors to Cub Scout Pack 851, kicking off Red Ribbon Week, the Nation's oldest Drug Prevention Program.  The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) flew in their helicopter for the event with Special Agent Rodney Reston as pilot.  Special Agent Reston spoke to Pack 851 and their parents of the importance of living drug-free lives and making safe and responsible decisions.  Each Scout had the opportunity to get a close-up look at the helicopter and was given a Red Ribbon.

 

Red Ribbon Week was started in 1988 to honor DEA Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena who was tortured to death while working undercover in Guadalajara, Mexico.

 

Stuart Jet Center staff had warm cookies waiting for the Pack when they returned from their tour.
