Hello all,
My name is Hunter and I am the new Historian of Troop 281.
Tonight was an incredible meeting. It was comprised of planning for the upcoming Mystery campout, a great presentation of Troop 281 history, provided by Mr. Siebenburgen. We learned 281 was originally chartered with AHUMC, but under the name of Forestville Methodist Episcopal Church.
