It was Christmas time and a group of Brownies and Girl Scouts went to a Rest Home and sang some Christmas carols and passed out cookies and hot chocolate to the older people. This is also a story about salt because those girls brought a very good flavor to all those older people. Remember that big snow we had a couple of years back - 14 inches of that white stuff covered the ground and you got a free day. You probably remember all those big salt trucks going up and down, dumping salt so people could get around. Without that salt it would have been difficult for people to get to work or the grocery store.
Scouts can also put salt on the road of life.
Let me tell you what some of our Eagle Scouts did for St. Vivian's. These young men put flower boxes on the rectory porch, placed a couple of park benches among the pines, and painted the ironwork sign near Winton Road. Now many of the brides and grooms who come here for their wedding gather in these special areas for pictures. These scouts have made the road to their weddings a little smoother. Scouts have also made a stone platform for St. Vivian's flag pole and fenced in our trash area.
