Special to IFN

Fair View United Methodist Church in Mt. Mourne recently observed Scout Sunday with Scouts and Scout Leaders from Cub Scout Pack #173 and Scouts BSA Troops #173 and #4173 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 door openers, greeters, handing out bulletins, acolytes and cross bearer. An opening Scouter’s Prayer was led by a Scout as well as others reading scriptures and an offering blessing. Scouts and Scout Leaders served as ushers taking up the offering.

Words of appreciation to Fair View were shared by Pack and Troop leaders. A Scout from the Pack and a Scout from each Troop shared what Scouting means to them.

Troop #173 was organized 74 years ago, the Pack 56 years ago and Troop #4173 two years ago. Both the Troops and Pack have been involved in community service to the surrounding area and at Fair View Methodist.
