Washburn Scouts attend ceremony, Sunday service
Special to the Star-Herald
On Saturday, Feb. 6, Cub Scout Pack 162 held their annual Blue and Gold Banquet, and Bryce Roix graduated from Webelos into Boy Scout Troop 177. He and his parents, Tim and Lee Roix, were welcomed to the troop by Scouts and leaders.
Roix has earned the Arrow of Light, the highest award in Cub Scouting. As part of the welcoming ceremony, he received a new troop neckerchief, placed on him by Scoutmaster Larry Harrison. He was also given his Eagle Patrol patch, Boy Scout handbook, red shoulder loops and a merit badge sash.
Following the ceremony, the troop held a Court of Honor, presenting advancement that had been earned by Scouts and leaders since November of 2009.
In celebration of Boy Scout Week, Scouts and leaders from Boy Scout Troop 177 and Cub Scout Pack 162 attended services at the Crouseville Advent Church on Sunday, Feb. 7, and were warmly welcomed by Pastor Paul Carter and the congregation. It has been several years since the Scouts had attended the Crouseville Church, and this visit was especially enjoyed by all participants.
As part of celebrating the 100th anniversary of Boy Scouting in America, the Troop and Pack have been taking part in many activities promoting Scouting in our community. Those attending were: Cub Master Stacey Skinner; Cub Scouts Carvor Pendexter, Alex Hyde, Aaron Skinner, Reed Plummer, Noah White; Assistant Scout Leader Ronald Rand; Scoutmaster Larry Harrison; Scouts Parker Thompson, Brandon Cropley, Taylor Skinner and Tyler Jardine; and Assistant Scout Leader Randy Thompson.
