Boy Scout Troop 19 News!!
Cub Scout Pack 19 News!!
I hope that you are well in this New Year. Hi! My
name is Ron Crow; I'm the new Scoutmaster of
Troop 19. My wife, Wendy, has been active in Cub
Scouts at Pack 19 for many years. She serves as a
committee member currently with the troop. My
son, Wayne, is an Eagle Scout from Troop 19. My
daughter, Cheree, is a Girl Scout as a Cadet member.
I have been a Boy Scout for many years. First as a
youth, and for the past 9 Years with the Troop and
Pack here at AUMC.
Troop 19 has been retraining the boys in the positions that they hold in the troop. We have one boy
working on his Eagle Scout Project at Camp Douglas
Long. Angel has worked hard to get were he is t
oday. He is widening and making a new trail used
for nature hikes. It will also let the ranger get someone out of the woods fast if they get hurt on the trail.
The troop is also doing Scout Sunday, and Scouting for food in the area. We will be delivering bags
on February 5 and picking them back up on February 12. The food will go to COAT on the 12th. If you
would like to help, please have food at the Church
by the 12th and we will delivery it then. The troop is
also going camping February 11-13.
Thanks for all you do for us here at AUMC. If
you know any boys, 11-17 years old that would like
to join in the fun you can contact me
at [email protected] or 336-880-6258.
After the Christmas break and then an unplanned
snow break, Pack 19 is back to work! The boys
are really learning a lot and having fun. We are
getting some big plans together for February. On
February 5th and 12th we are participating in Scouting for Food- a canned food drive for COAT. We
will also celebrate Scout Sunday here at
AUMC. For our Pack Night on the 28th we are
having our annual Blue Gold banquet with a
covered dish supper and a speaker (a High Point
police officer who lost both legs in Iraq). Coming
up in March – PINEWOOD DERBY on March
19th and a lock-in afterwards!
Yours in Scouting,
Ron Crow
We have had several
exterior doors left
unlocked,
lights left on and
water left running.
Please make sure
all doors are locked,
all lights are off
and water OFF
before leaving the building.
As always we are looking for boys in 1st – 5th
grade that want to have fun and become tomorrow’s leaders!
If you have any questions
or know of anyone, please give Arch Hamilton
a call at 434-4179 or visit our website at

Valentine’s Day!
Remember going to school with your Valentine cards for the whole
class? On February 13th you got to decorate a bag that would act as your Valentine mailbox. On Valentine’s Day, you giggled and put a card in everyone’s mailbox. There were always 1 or 2 “yucky” boys
that you wanted to ignore, but your Mom made you give them a Valentine, too. The day ended with cupcakes, chips, and juice. What a great day!
When I was teaching at Trinity High School, we had to “outlaw” Valentine’s Day. The school
made all the girls (and the local florists) really mad by saying there would be NO flower deliveries at
school. It was such a status symbol to get flowers at school that we would have 500 or more deliveries.
There was no where to put all the flowers, and trying to call the girls down to the office to get their flowers was such a distraction, Trinity High School just banned all deliveries – not just for Valentine’s Day,
but for the whole week!
The original Valentine’s Day story is not nearly as sweet. It began in the early years of the Christian Church in Rome. The story goes that the Emperor Claudius II wanted a huge army, but married men
did not want to be soldiers. They wanted to stay home with their wives. So Claudius II outlawed marriage and engagements. (Wow! That is even more radical than outlawing flower deliveries to high
school!) A Christian priest named Valentine continued to marry Christian couples, so he was arrested,
jailed, and sentenced to be executed. Some sources say that the Emperor talked at length to Valentine,
and Valentine impressed him so much that he offered to set him free, if he would just denounce Christianity. Of course, that did not happen. A sweeter story says that Valentine began talking to the jailer’s blind
daughter. She would bring him flowers and notes to cheer him up. He would answer her notes and sign
them, “Your Valentine”. Some sources say he prayed over her and blindness was healed before he was
beheaded – on February 14th.
After being widowed at 41, I did not think that I would ever find another “Valentine”. After living for 41 years, I had a long list of qualifications someone had to have if I ever considered marriage
again. High on this list was a man that went to church every Sunday. I did not want to have to beg or
threaten someone to go to church. I wanted none of this “I believe in God, but I just do not want to go to
church.” Church is very important to me, and I consider it the foundation of marriage. You know the rest
of the story. If you were here November 17, 2002, you saw Garret propose to me when he joined our
church, and you see him in the choir every Sunday.
Enjoy your candy this month, and remember the origin of Valentine’s Day. A man that was executed because he would not give up Jesus deserves more than candy, notes, and flowers.
Honor the legend by bringing your Valentine to church! Who knows, you
might hold hands during the sermon!
I’ll see you in church!
