Waco couple leads Boy Scout troop by example
Waco Today, August 26, 2015
Dr. Morrison, with his wife by his side, serves as Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 308, sponsored by Waco’s First United Methodist Church. On Tuesday evenings, the couple can be found surrounded by 40 to 85 Boy Scouts, ages 11 to 18, eagerly planning outdoor activities, camping trips and community service projects designed to instill character qualities to prepare the youths for success later in life.
Although Dr. Morrison has directed the troop since 2000, his involvement with scouting dates back to his own boyhood when he earned the rank of Eagle Scout in 1963. Dr. Morrison’s love of scouting quickly spread to other members of his family: first to his wife; then to son Evan, who became an Eagle Scout under his father’s tutelage; and now Evan’s son Eric, who is a Cub Scout.
