S. Dade Cub Scout wins special emblem
Eric Petersen, 9, of SW 198th St., is the first Cub Scout in the South Florida Council to win the Agnus Dei Emblem. Eric, a fourth grader at Whispering Pines Elementary, is the son of Edward and Doris Petersen. His dad, a former Scoutmaster and his mom, a den mother, have long been active in South Dade scouting. Mrs. Petersen explained that Cub Scouting, nationally, has major emblems scouts can earn by studying their individual religions. Eric, a member of St. Timothy Lutheran Church, 8601 SW 199th St., studied his religion and will receive his emblem Sunday, May 16 from his pastor Rev. Donald J. Blake at the 10:30 a.m. worship service. To earn the award Eric had to develop morning and evening prayers daily for three months, learn the church's structure and calendar, learn the meanings of symbols and colors used in Lutheran services, visit a shut-in and discuss all these experiences with his pastor. The award also required a visit to a house of worship of another faith. Mrs. Petersen said friends invited Eric and his parents to services at Temple Beth Am, 5950 N. Kendall Dr., and Eric wrote a report about the visit and discussed it with Pastor Blake.
