Augusta — Members of Augusta Cub Scout Pack 603 visited the Capital Weekly office at 295 Water St. to learn about newspapers and fulfill a communications requirement for their Tiger badges.
During their March 24 visit, they met the newspaper's editor, Beth Staples.
"It was fun to meet the boss and take a picture with her," said Killian Gagnon and Kaden Urquhart.
The Scouts also learned about selling advertisements, what reporters do, the number of papers delivered every week, and how to adjust and remove red eye in photos.
Then they helped write and lay out a front page story about their visit, complete with the photo of them with "the boss." When they finished, each Scout received a copy of their custom-made front page to take home as a souvenir of their visit.
All in all, the youngsters enjoyed their visit.
"It was fun," said Zachary Hutchinson.
