Today we honor the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr., a leader who exemplified service, character, and community. He was a Scout in Troop 151 at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, now part of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, where his father—and later Dr. King himself—served as pastors.

The rumors are true: Martin Luther King Jr. was a Boy Scout. He was registered as a member of Troop 151, which met at Ebenezer Baptist Church.

Supporting Scouting in Our Community

As Troop 125 prepares for our end-of-year Court of Honor, we want to share a reminder about the importance of Friends of Scouting (FOS)—the annual campaign that helps keep Scouting strong across the North Florida Council.

FOS provides critical support for:
• Local camps and outdoor programs
• Leader training and youth protection resources
• Scholarships and assistance for families in need
• Community events and activities that keep Scouting thriving
• Professional staff and infrastructure that help units like ours succeed

It costs our council about $500 per Scout per year to deliver a full Scouting experience, and FOS helps bridge the gap so programs stay affordable and accessible to all youth.

If Scouting has made a positive impact on your family—or if you simply believe in the mission of building character, leadership, and outdoor skills—we invite you to consider supporting Friends of Scouting this year.

Every contribution, large or small, makes a difference.
➡️ Learn more or make a gift at the link in the comments (and don't forget to note Troop 125).

Thank you for supporting the next generation of leaders! 💛💙⛺️

Troop 125 had a great service day this weekend at Payne's Prairie. We learned about how the park manages habitat for the threatened Gopher Tortoise. And we were able to help the park with their efforts by removing invading trees.
