Saturday – April 2: This past Saturday Wellsville Troop 29, of the Boy Scouts of America, held a Court of Honor. The event was held with a spaghetti dinner at the Covenant Presbyterian Church on 18th Street. Covenant is the home of Troop 29.
A Court of Honor for Boy Scouts is a ceremony recognizing the member Scouts for their achievements during the past year. Merit badges and awards were presented to the young men as part of the ceremony. Scout Master Tom Eberhart served as the Master of Ceremonies in presenting the awards.
Scouts receiving awards were Jarrett, Chance and John Buckel, Alik and Seth Bradford, John and Brian Bell, Dalton Range, Justin Cehrs and Max Littleton. They are pictured above along with Scout Masters Dan Kirkbride and Eberhart.
Scout member Brian Bell has earned the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest honor in Scouting. It's a honor he'll be able to maintain throughout his entire life. WHS Freshman Seth Bradford is next in line for that honor with Troop 29. We're told he only has a couple of merit badges left to earn plus a community project. Attaining the rank of Eagle Scout is an honor held in high esteem the world over and a big plus on any resume. It's the only honor that Scouts are permitted to proclaim after reaching a certain age.
Coming up for Troop 29 is a hike on the Greenway Trail and Summer Camp at Seven Ranges. Summer Camp will be July 3 through July 9.
Also pictured above is a couple of fellows that between them have 126 years of service in Scouting. Don Thiess got started in 1942 and Howard Bosworth in 1954. From the left is Thiess, Bosworth and Troop 29 Scout Masters Eberhart and Kirkbride.
Congratulations to all the Scouts honored. You're the future of American and all of Wellsville is proud of each and every one of you.
