Troop 513's 50th Anniversary


Troop 513 to celebrate 50 years in May
Whiteville United Methodist Church Boy Scout Troop 513 will observe its 50th anniversary on Saturday, May 17 beginning at 3 p.m. at the church with a time for renewing old acquaintances followed by a barbecue supper at 5 p.m. and a “court of honor” recognizing the 500-plus Scouts and their leaders.
A multimedia show covering the 50 years will be capped by a special campfire ceremony.
Scoutmaster Brent Hood is asking that all former Scouts, and the eight other surviving Scoutmasters (of the original 12) reserve that Saturday for the celebration.
Hood is also seeking the addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of the former Scouts.
The cost is $10 per person and Scouts are encouraged to bring their families.
Hood is asking the Scouts to bring whatever Scouting memorabilia they have from their Scouting days for an exhibit.
For more information, contact Wendy Hood at 642-1855 or email her at whood@ec.rr.com.
