Scoutmaster Minute: Sixty years ago, Troop 893 was chartered at Centreville United Methodist Church. In that time, many Scouts have benefited from joining the Troop 893 family. Today, CUMC celebrated Scout Sunday and Eagle Scout candidate Scott Marrow shared some thoughts with the congregation. I have attached those comments as a reminder of our appreciation for CUMCs support and simply the values of reverence that are imparted thru the Scouting program.

Ranks Advancement: The following Scouts(s) have taken another step forward on their Journey to Eagle, well done!
