Great job!

Did you know the Battle of the Waxhaws weekend would not have been possible without Scout Troop 19?

For months, this troop has helped us prepare the grounds and get the museum ready to welcome 1780 back to Waxhaw. During event weekend, the scouts and their families volunteered countless hours to help everything run smoothly.

From parking to errands, cleanup, problem-solving, answering questions, and jumping in wherever they were needed they did it ALL.

It truly takes a village at the Museum of the Waxhaws, and Scout Troop 19 is such an important part of ours.
We are beyond grateful for their hard work, servant hearts, and dedication to our museum and community.

Congrats to our outgoing District Commissioner, Jeramy Pressley, on being awarded the Silver Beaver. This is the top adult service award a Council can give.

Jeramy is an Eagle Scout, and has served in leadership roles at the Unit, District, and Council level.

Say congrats to Jeramy when you see him!

📚 Little Free Library Restocked! 🇺🇸

Scouts from Troop 19 and Pack 53 spent part of their President's Day giving back by restocking the two Little Free Libraries in Waxhaw.

It’s a simple act, but small acts of service like this make a real impact in our community. Keeping books available and accessible encourages reading, sharing, and connection for families throughout Old Hickory District.

Great job, Scouts! 👏
