Marine Military Academy (MMA) Public Relations Director Andi Atkinson led scouts on a field trip to the San Benito News Tuesday as part of earning the Journalism Merit Badge. Scouts had the unique opportunity to view vintage newspapers bound by year. They found a comics section from 1961 most interesting, along with a grocery ad from year 1946.
