To the Parish of Holy Trinity United Methodist Church and Troop Parents,

This year, our Troop celebrates 38 years of Scouting within the parish of Holy Trinity Methodist Church. The church is also celebrating 40 years of scouting participation all together. We would like to thank Holy Trinity for allowing us to meet and gather here every week. We would also like to thank the parents of the scouts for bringing their boys to the meetings on time and regularly. We also want to thank Greg Carr, Holy Trinty UMM member, for his un-ending support of Scouting!

Congratulations to all the Scouts on their recent awards at the Spring Court of Honor. Your merit badges and various awards clearly indicate your commitment to persevering until your goals are met and that you are always working hard to improve yourself and become a better citizen and scout. Keep up the good work!

A SCOUT IS REVERENT - RELIGIOUS KNOT

Religious Emblems for Boy Scouts,Varsity Scouts,Venturers, and Explorers

(For information go to: http://www.usscouts.org/, Advancement, Religious)

"A Scout is Reverent." All Scouts show this by being faithful in their duty to God. Some go further and give special service. This can qualify them for a religious emblem. Such an emblem is not a Scouting award. It is conferred on a Scout by his religious leader. Each faith has its own requirements for earning its emblem. Listed on the web link are the BOY SCOUT and VARSITY SCOUT emblems and where to find out about them. Before writing or visiting your local council service center, check with your religious leader.
(Unless indicated otherwise, awards listed may be earned by both Boy Scouts and Varsity Scouts.) Older Boy Scouts of Varsity Scout age (over 14), Venturers, and Sea Scouts (and in some cases, Explorers) are eligible for any awards that Varsity Scouts may earn.
