Camping, hiking, and perhaps even whitewater rafting are activities the new Boy Scout troop in Marion most likely will be involved in.

Members of the troop are Jack and Jesse Branson, Josh Bryant, Kirk Buckner, Andy Crofoot, Jim Helmer, Chris Holub, Jeremy Kinning, and Roger Weatherbee Jr.
For the second consecutive year, Marion High School runner Pam Kruse took second in the Class 3A girls' state championship cross country meet Saturday in Wamego. This was the fourth straight appearance for both Kruse and Nick Voelker, who finished 26th.
