A co-ed international Scouting group formed this summer in Hasar held its first ever pinewood derby Oct 6th thanks to leader's efforts and cars donated by families of the 116th Brigade Combat Team.This local Scouting group, known as Kashafa in Iraq began July 7th when members of the 115th BCT Task Force 1/148 Field Artillery and leaders from the community of Hasar celebrated a ribbon cutting and inauguration of the program.
The Hasar Kashafa consists of three groups: Tiger, comprised of boys and girls ages 8-11, Lightning, made up of boys and girls ages 12-14, and Eagles, children 15-18 years old. The groups meet weekly and have over 100 participants.
