Over 200 friends and family packed into the Kunkel Room at Buda Elementary earlier this month as (left to right) Xavier Flores, William Guthrie, Thomas Knight Hunter and Crispin Lyman celebrated their Eagle Court of Honor ceremony. The four are members of the Boy Scout Troop 967, which is chartered by the Buda United Methodist Church. During their time as Cub Scouts, the four toured the Buda Fire Department, the old Buda Post Office, and a couple of them met Bob Barton on their tour of the Hays Free Press. They camped at local campgrounds, in addition to trips to NASA, the Texas State Aquarium, and the USS Lexington. As Boy Scouts, they camped an average of once a month. They earned the Chili Pepper Patch many times by camping in 100+ degree weather in summer, and the Polar Bear Patch by camping in below freezing weather in winter. The four also participated in Merit Badge Universities which gave them the opportunity to spend time on the campuses of the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University.
