China Baptist Church’s Senior Pastor Ronald E. Morrell Sr., was honored on March 25 for his outstanding support and long-standing commitment to the programs of the Boy Scouts of America. The Scouts invited Ron to preside over the invocation for their district awards banquet at the Waterville Elks, and then surprised the affable minister by making him an “Honorary Scout” because he lives his life following the the Scout Oath and Law in his daily practice already. The China Baptist Church is home to Boy Scout Troop #479 under the leadership of Scoutmaster Scott Adams.
The Waterville Elks were also honored by the Scouts for their organization’s steadfast commitment to support not only Scouting but other worthy community groups. Receiving the award for the fraternal order was Exalted Ruler Alanson P. White III.
