On Sunday evening, August 7, FELC hosted the Eagle Scout Ceremony for three young men from our troop. FELC members Nancy & Randy Baden and Tim Atkinson participated.
Nancy Baden writes: “It was really nice. Nice bunch of people. And delicious potluck to boot. Tim Atkinson shared a little history of his time with the troop. He explained how Herb Walenta took him out to our family farm in Pflugerville and taught him how to build a pit fire in prep for Tim taking over the troop. Fun facts.”
Congratulations, Eagle Scouts!
Four years after founding First English Lutheran Church, church members organized and chartered Boy Scout Troop 28 (1940). Cub Scout Pack 28 was chartered in 1951. Since the 1990’s the Pack & Troop have gone through different iterations. Boy Scouts of America is now “Scouts BSA”. Elementary age girls may now join Cub Scouts, and Scouts BSA is chartering Scout Troops for older girls.
We are grateful to FELC Scout Representative Charlie Boas for his leadership.
