Temple Lodge #4 AF & AM and Bellaire Boy Scout Troop 222

Temple Lodge #4 AF & AM hosted Bellaire Boy Scout Troop 222 for a special event. The evening began with the Boy Scouts conducting a flag-retirement ceremony, which respectfully disposed of more than 25 U.S. flags. The ceremony was followed by a barbecue dinner for guests. The Boy Scouts were given a tour of the ceremonial Lodge Rooms. Special guests included Bellaire Mayor Andrew Friedberg, Raul Sarmiento, Brian Dodson and Kevin Binder. U.S. District Court Judge David Hittner, a lodge member who has been involved with the Boy Scouts since his youth, displayed his scout memorabilia and discussed similarities between the Scout Order of the Arrow and Mason rites. Five scouts who recently earned their Eagle rank – Zachary Caruthers, Elias Han, Eric Huang, Edward Jin and Kodi Snearly – were honored. Pictured are troop members, lodge members and special guests.
