Part of the Scout Law is a Scout is Reverent. Duty to God is also part of the Scout Oath. Each year Troop 275 honors this by participating in Scout Sunday. Boy Scouts of America designates the Sunday that falls before February 8 as Scout Sunday. We showed our resect by attending services at Belair United Methodist Church. Scouts led the flag ceremony, led readings during the service. Scoutmaster Otto Mercado also addresed the Church and honored our partnership to show thanks.
Part of the Scout Oath is to “help other people at all times.” Troop 275 does regular community service events, including being a part of Scouting For Food. On January 27, we hung door tags in nearly 3,800 homes in 9 communities letting people know about Scouting for Food and then we picked up their donations! We collected a total of 6,000 pounds. These donations will be distributed through the Belair United Methodist Church food pantry to those in need.
The annual York District Awards dinner is January 12th, starting at 7 pm at the First Presbyterian Church in Rock Hill. The cost is $18 per person and there is a signup link on the Council webpage, if you plan to attend please register and pay online.
