Patriotism Is S
By AUDREY L. WILLIAMS
Staff Writer
It wasn't the typical graduation accompanied by the
usual pomp and circumstance. The central theme was
patriotism. .
The patriots were Torris Furgerson and Tracy Miller,
two graduating Webelos of Cub Scout Pack 819 last
Saturday at Second New Bethel Baptist Church.
At 11 years old, both Torris and Tracy made their first
step toward manhood, as many of the speakers told the
two new Boy Scouts.
Members of Winston's black community are making
concerted efforts to see that scouting becomes a part of
black youth and Saturday'^ graduation was just an example
of what's to come, say pack leaders ahd supporters.
Torris's and Tracy's higher rank in the world of
scouting came as a result of two years of hard work and
holding membership as the two highest ranked Cub
Scouts in their pack.
As proud parents, fellow scouts and supporters looked
on, the two Cubs made their traditional walk into boy
scouting. Their small faces beamed with pride as they
both received the traditional red and green scarves and
pens of the Boy Scout uniform.
In appreciation for Second New Bethel's support of
scouting, the pack presented the church with the National
Summertime Award and a Unit Award.
f*
Alderman Larry Womble, who attended the ceremony,
reminisced about his days as a Scout as he addressed the
two graduates.
"I look at these young boys and think about my days
as a Scout," he said. "Scouting did a lot for me and I
know it will do so much for you.
"But you can't measure the impact right now," he
said. "Parents and supporters, you will see it in the long
run."
James Gibbs, pack leader of troop 819, also gave a
( promising message to the graduates and their parents.
"Parents, you might; not be able to leave these boys
with material wealth," i}ie said, "but you will be able to
leave them with the assurance that they will have love,

Mark Snyder, district executive director of the Old
Hickory Council, who also attended the graduation
ceremony, said that Torris' and Tracy's accomplishment
was indeed a feat because many young boys who start out
as Cub Scouts never get past that stage. He said many
times youths drop out because of a lack of interest.
Torris was also awarded the Arrow of Light Award.

receive. The award is based on a Cub's character and
merit.
The new Boy Scouts displayed the usual excitement of
a little boy accomplishing one of his first goals. However,
Tracy couldn't seem to keep still througn it all.
"I feel better now than I've ever felt," he said.
"Because I'm a Boy Scout now, I'll get to do bigger and
better things and most of all explore."
