Wetumpka Scout Troops honor Memorial Day

From Allison Krueger Rouse

Special to the EAN

Members of Wetumpka Scout Troop 13, Scout Troop 168 and Venture Crew 122 held a Memorial Day service at Wetumpka First Presbyterian Church on May 26.

Scoutmaster Jose Guerrero led the ceremony and asked members of the troops, crew and the audience to share stories about family members or friends who have served our country and are no longer with us. For each person shared, a flag was then retired in his or her honor. Scoutmaster Guerrero said he hopes the ceremony will become an annual celebration of service members in the lives of the Scouts and local residents.

Troop 13 and Venture Crew 122 are chartered by First Presbyterian Church, and Troop 168 is a newer addition of female Scouts that is currently chartered by VFW Post 4572 Auxiliary of Wetumpka.
