Dexter, Missouri - The Dexter Tiger Cub Scout Pack 200 Den 9 became superstars when they visit YHCtv this past week. 

The little Tigers traveled to the studio to see the inner workings of a television station.  The Tigers learned how they get the news, sports and tv programs to their home television.  As part of the tour they were able to visit the newsroom where they filmed a short "hello" to everyone watching YHCtv in Dexter, Missouri.

The children were excited as they were "live" on the air.   They were asked how does it feel to be on tv.  Some said "cool", "awesome", and one boy said "embarrassing."  No matter how they felt they were all intrigued with the "green screen".

Touring the studio, they were able to ask questions and learn about the green screen, microphones, cameras and many aspects of how television programs are made.  Being in an actual television station made learning more fun and easier to explain all the equipment used to make a news program.

Touring the studio and learning how television stations operate gave the boys scouts an opportunity to earn a badge.  They discovered how the microphones worked, how the cameras operated and many aspects of how complicated running a television station can be.  

The cub scouts are now working on their next service project by selling Chili Supper tickets.  They will be serving chili at the Sacred Heart Church on Saturday, February 16th from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.  All you can eat chili and hotdogs for only $7.00.
