Scouts Troop 116, established in 1949, celebrated its 75th anniversary with a ceremony on the front lawn of Madera United Methodist Church on Saturday.

The Call to Order was given by Michael Armendarez, SPL. Ryde Garlick, PL. gave the opening prayer, and Michael J. Stone, ASPL, welcomed friends and family who were present.

The scouts who presented shared some of what they had done as a troop, such as the trip to the Sacramento Train Museum, and the Live Oak Camporee in Allensworth. They then informed attendees about some of their upcoming events.
