Boy Scouts of America Troop 342 raised three fingers in the air and recited the Scout Oath and Scout Law for possibly the last time at Statesboro Primitive Baptist Church during a farewell banquet in the church’s fellowship hall on Saturday. After 54 years of consistently sponsoring Troop 342 since it was founded in 1963, Statesboro Primitive Baptist Church has dissolved that partnership after recognizing differing positions taken by the Boys Scouts of America national leadership and Primitive Baptist beliefs. The fellowship hall was filled Saturday with scouts of all ages and generations as many who had taken part in the organization over the years returned to be part of the farewell banquet.
