Action News Reporter dann cuellar is live in Upper Providence township where both troops were based. Whats the story . People are absolutely stunned that someone would be heartless as to steal all the money from a cub scout pack and girl scout troop. Now people are trying to figure out how they are going to replace all of that money to sponsor activities for the kids. And to the republic for which it stands these cub scouts ranging in age from 710 years old are taught about honor and respect. How to be selfsufficient. To be able to afford to do things. If you want to go camping, want to do these other activities, that you need to go out and earn that. If the police have it right, 30yearold Heather Belford taught them an alltogether different lesson, how to make off with other peoples money after she allegedly cleaned out not just the cub scout bank account but that of the girl scout troop. We found the cub scouts lost over 3,000 and the girl scouts lost over 7,000. And the members of the pack worked all yearround to raise the money. We sold pots of popcorn. We sold some cups. And how do you feel now . Sad. The police say belford accessed the funds through her position with the organization. My son said it best that it was very sad to know that they worked so hard for all of this and have it in a matter of days taken away from them. Belford was said not to be home when we went to get her side of the story. In an apparent act of remorse the parents say she gave back 35 derby pine kits. And i dont know what she was going to do with the cars when she stole the money to buy make up. It makes me so mad.
