Statesboro Primitive Baptist drops Boy Scout troop
After 54 years, Troop 342 looking for new home
scouts
With a decision by Statesboro Primitive Baptist Church as sponsoring organization not to renew the charter of Boy Scout Troop 342, a relationship going back 54 years will come to an end Dec. 31. Unless another organization takes up the mantle, the number of the troop a regional scouting staff member called “an Eagle factory,” will be retired. Two plaques from the Boy Scout hut on church property carry the names of more than 50 men who achieved the top rank of Eagle Scout over the years.
