Many gathered in reverence to Scout Sunday at Kirkwood Presbyterian Church. BSA Troop 1140-B, Pack 1140 and GSA Troops 4001 & 52054, both sponsored by Kirkwood participated in the day’s events.
The units provide all of the Greeters, Ushers, Acolytes, Lay Readers, Charter Presenters, a Musician, and 3 out of the 4 units had a Presenter discussing what that unit did in the previous year (usually a youth).
