Troop 77, a Boy Scout troop sponsored by the Muncie branch, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. With 42 boys, the troop is larger than it has ever been. Members just learned that their scoutmaster, Pete Walters (Muncie), will receive the highest honor a volunteer can earn from the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America--the Silver Beaver.

Six members of the Appleton branch made the covenant of the People of Praise on October 22. They include a married couple from Africa, a married couple in their 80s, a retired heavy equipment operator and a single woman who met the community through a church choir.
