Boy Scouts in Troop 170 of Marianna met on Friday, August 27, at the First Presbyterian Church, following their first full week back to school. Scouts are strong on the trail to satisfactorily complete all requirements to earn their “Tenderfoot” rankings.
The evening started with a demonstration by Scout parents Brian McDonald and Tony Walker on the proper way to fold and unfold the American flag, followed by the pairing of Scouts to have hands-on practice.
Scouts also worked on additional requirements including knot tying, under the guidance of Assistant Scout Master Allen Mathis. Further discussion focused on poisonous plants, how to avoid them, and what to do if contact is made with these type of plants.
Scouts practiced reciting the Scout Oath, Pledge, Motto, and Slogan, and follow-up by leader David McArthur was made with each Scout to monitor individual progress towards completion of their Pathfinding badges. Before adjourning for the evening, Scouts sang “Happy Birthday” to leader Mary Ann Hutton and enjoyed cake and soft drinks with her. Troop 170 is on track to meet its overall goal for each Scout to earn the rank of Tenderfoot by the end of September.
