BOY SCOUT TROOP 455 On Monday, April 7, the Johnsburg Boy Scout Troop 455 held a court of honor, where several boys who were Webelos in 454 of Cub Scouts were accepted into the troop as boy scouts. Father Bartel of St. John the Baptist gave , a benediction < and among the guests of honor was Judge Conrad Floeter of the McHenry County Juvenile Court. The court of honor was held to honor scout Dennis Christy who advanced to the rank of Eagle Scout. This Is the highest rank in scouting and only achieved by many years of hard work. Dennis spent 3 years in cub scouts and the past 6 years in boy scouts. Along with the many achievements necessary to rise to the rank of Eagle Scout Dennis had to perform a community or religious project. He chose to hold rummage sales to raise money for a plaque that will be placed in the Miller Chapel on the corner of Ringwood and Wilmot roads. The chapel was built in 1878 by Mary Miller and people from the Miller settlement in Johnsburg would gather together on Sunday at the chapel for services. Care of the chapel has been passed from the daughter of Mary Miller to family members. The plaque was presented to Lavern Stone, a decendent of Mary Miller. The small Chapel is open and the alter and figures placed there many years ago are intact. Dennis's parents were also honored at this court. Among the letters of congrat­ ulations was a letter from President Carter. Dennis will remain with the scouts as an assistant scout master. The weekend of April 25, the boys of Troop 455, along with many other Boys Scout and Cub Scout troops will go to the Galena prilgrimage.
