Scouts demonstrated the reverent part of the 12-point Scout Law today (Feb. 18) at First United Methodist Church. Boy and Cub Scouts with Troop 347 in Smithville observed Scout Sunday to mark the founding of Scouts in the United States.
Decked out in their formal Class A uniforms, Scouts helped with the worship service. Led by Darren Waggoner, the Scouts marched in with the United States flag for the Presentation of Colors. Senior Patrol Leader Jacob Williams asked scouts to join him in reciting the Scout Promise/Oath/Law. Cody Robinson read the day’s scripture, and Jonathan Birmingham conducted the children’s message. Thomas Webb, who passed his Board of Review for Eagle Scout on Saturday, was the Liturgist.
Also joining in the worship service were Kaleb and Jaden Wildes, Zachary Cantrell, Gavin Conger, Ben Waggoner, and Malachi VanDeVeer.
