Forty scouts and scout leaders from Cub Scout Pack 89, Boy Scout Troop 16, Sea Scout Ship 16 and Girl Scout Troop 5292 attended the recent Scout Sunday at Beech Grove Methodist Church in Driver.
Beech Grove sponsors the cub, girl and ship units, and all four scout troops meet weekly at this Driver church.
Boy Scout Robert Gardner Jr., who is Troop 16’s chaplain, conducted part of the service. Scout Leader David Willis, who sponsors and conducts the church’s annual God and Country program, presented this award to this year’s scouts.
Pastor Keith Moore thanked the scouts for living the 12th point of the scout law — A scout is reverent. He also thanked scouts for supporting Beech Grove and Glebe Episcopal Church with their many service projects.
In addition, scout leaders Brian Champigny and Paul Long were presented awards by Pastor Moore for their many years of dedicated service to scouting and units at Beech Grove.
Beech Grove then presented wooden honor roll boards to Troop 16 Scoutmaster Tony Stewart, recognizing the troop’s Eagle Scouts; to Sea Scout Leader Mike Kiser, recognizing Ship 16’s Quartermasters; and to the Girl Scouts, recognizing Gold Award recipients.
