Scouts donate $5,000 for AFUMC bus

The Boy Scouts of Troop 69 recently donated $5,000 to the Bus Replacement Campaign at Alpharetta First United Methodist Church. Senior Pastor Dr. Don Martin accepted a check from representatives of the troop. 

"The generous gift made by the Scouts and leaders of Troop 69 is very much appreciated. I am so grateful for the excellent leadership that points young men in a good direction,” said Dr. Martin.

Troop 69 frequently uses the church's facilities and equipment, including the buses for transportation. According to troop committee chairman Rick Leigh, “Mobilizing a group of 175-plus Scouts is a monumental task. Our access to the buses certainly is a big help, and we appreciate being allowed to use them."

Troop 69 is sponsored by Alpharetta Methodist and currently serves over 175 boys. The troop is the oldest continuously operating troop in Fulton County. Learn more at http://www.miltontroop69.org.
