Scouts \u201cattended\u201d a recent city commission meeting via a taped YouTube transmission aboard campus. Our nation is held together by a patchwork of communities, where individual citizen participation is all-important to the successful administration and enactment of social, political, and economic programs and policies. The <i>Boy Scouts<\/i> were exposed to the workings of local government, and witnessed how individual citizens can play an important role. Mr. Steve Gerber shared some valuable insight about how government works, increasing their understanding and motivating them towards becoming future involved citizens. Some of the troop members were involved in ceremony practice for the upcoming Parent\u2019s Weekend festivities this weekend and missed this segment, but we\u2019ll pick it up for them next Tuesday meeting.<\/p>\n<h2>Boy Scouts Enjoy Treats!<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/scouts9.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-9139\" title=\"scouts9\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/scouts9-300x283.jpg\" alt=\"boy scouts\" width=\"300\" height=\"283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/scouts9-300x283.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mma-tx.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/scouts9.jpg 575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Boy Scouts<\/span> Troop 22 meeting opened with Pledge of Allegiance, Scout Oath, and Scout Law as led by Nick Bailey and Henry Frost.
