Special to Iredell Free News

Scout Sunday was observed recently at Fair View United Methodist Church in Mt. Mourne with Scouts and Scout Leaders from Cub Scout Pack #173 and Scouts BSA Troop #173 taking part in the service. Pledges of Allegiances to the American flag, Christian flag and the Bible were led by the Scouts. Scouts served as acolytes, cross bearer and greeters. An opening Scouter’s Prayer was led by a Scout and others read scriptures and an offering blessing. Scouts and Scout Leaders served as ushers and collected the offering.

Words of appreciation were shared by Cub Scout Pack Cubmaster John McClelland and Scouts BSA Troop Scoutmaster Chris Dolack. A Pack Scout and a Troop Scout shared what Scouting is meaning to them.

The Troop was organized 72 years ago and the Pack 54 years ago. Both the Troop and Pack have been supportive in community service to the surrounding area and at Fair View UMC.
