A Special Request: History for Boy Scout Troup 13
Boy Scout Troop 13 is gearing up to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of its first Eagle Scout, Hazard Reeves, in 1923. To make this milestone truly special, the Troop is reaching out to St James Parishioners for support.
Troop 13, chartered at St James in 1919 and initially chartered in 1916, has a storied past as a founding member of the Cape Fear Council, 286 Eagle Scouts, a move to St John's Episcopal in 1958, and finally to St Andrews Presbyterian, where it stands chartered today.
But the Troop needs your help. Our Troop Historian, Houston Sutton (grandson of Frank Gibson), is on a mission to compile a comprehensive Troop history, and the Troop is reaching out to you for any photos, memorabilia, or information you might have. Whether it's snapshots of Troop members, Scoutmaster names, or even photos of vintage uniforms, every piece contributes to our shared history. Of particular interest is the period from 1948 to 1958, where there are few records.
If you have anything to share, please send it to Scoutmaster Kevin Hicks at [email protected] by December 31st, 2023. Your contributions will play a pivotal role in completing the Troop’s history.
