Minutes
Approval of Agenda
The City of Lake City welcomes Scouts Boy Scout America Troop 85 of First Presbyterian Church.
Troop 85, established in 1923 and later officially chartered by the late Ed Montgomery, Sr, has produced numerous business, government, and armed forces leaders throughout the century.
Through the boy scout model of “youth leading youth”, more than 150 young men have earned their Eagle Scout rank with Troop 85.
Tonight, the boys are attending the city council meeting to satisfy one of the requirements for their Citizenship in the Community merit badge. Citizenship is prioritized in scouting as the citizenship merit badges are required for Eagle Scout rank.
The boys are required to listen to the issues being discussed tonight, pick an issue, and then debate that issue among themselves at their next troop meeting. They will now come forward and recite their oath.
