Powdersville’s Troop 210 held its end-of-summer Court of Honor last week to recognize nearly 30 Boy Scouts for their achievements and advancements over the last-six months.
It was one of the largest recognition ceremonies for the Troop in years with 27 new rank achievements and over 130 merit badges.
Troop 210 also recognized one Eagle Scout accomplishment with Powdersville High School senior Aidan Queen achieving the highest rank in Scouting. His service project included building new playground apparatuses and shelter at the Sunshine House in Mauldin earlier this summer.
“It’s exciting to recognize so many young leaders from our community for their hard work and achievements,” Troop 210 Scoutmaster Mike Ingram said. “Scouting teaches youth how to be better leaders, citizens, and just overall good people. They are learning life skills, and I am very fortunate to get to see them succeed and also fail, but learn from the failures. I always tell them that scouting is a leadership lab and a safe place to fail and I would rather them fail here than out in the real world.”
Troop 210 meets weekly at 7:00 pm on Monday evenings in the Scout room inside the gymnasium at Bethesda United Methodist Church in Powdersville. Pack 95 based in Powdersville recently merged with Troop 210, increasing its size and scope in the area.
