The Boy Scouts of America just celebrated their 104th birthday, and a local troop has the distinction of celebrating almost half of those years. Boy Scout Troop 342, sponsored by Statesboro Primitive Baptist Church, celebrated 50 years of scouting with a Feb. 1 banquet welcoming many current and former Scouts and families. Rarely does a troop have this kind of longevity in continuous years and sponsorship.
