(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Brody Cook, 6, left, and his brother Landon, 8, talk about some of their merit badges and various aspects of their scout uniforms following a recent Cub Scout activity in Draper. The cook family previously participated in a scout pack sponsored by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but elected to continue with the Scouting program at a different location after the church announced it will end its decades-long partnership with the Scouting organization.
