Troop Leadership
Mark Murray, Scoutmaster
As a youth, Mr. Murray was a member of Troop 401 (First
Baptist Church of Lubbock, Tx), where he has fond memories
of camping and scouting adventures. As an adult, Mr. Murray
served as a Cub Den Leader followed by a Webelos Den Leader
for Pack 845. During this time he was awarded the Northern
Lights Award and the Akela Award. He also served as Assistant
Cubmaster and Pack Trainer.
In Troop 753, Mr. Murray has served as a Committee Member
followed by Assistant Scoutmaster/TFC Coordinator. This
last position was cut short when he was offered the opportunity
to step into the role of Scoutmaster.
Mr. Murray attended Woodbadge 74 at Camp Cherokee in Spring
2005. He was recently presented the Scoutmaster Award
of Merit.
Keely Mobley, Committee Chairman
As a youth, Mrs. Mobley found herself living in South East
Asia with her family. Her family's travels took them to many
third-world countries. There, her heart grew for serving others.
This coupled with a God-given talent for administration she
has found herself at the head of the troop committee.
Her greatest blessing with Troop 753 comes in the package
of the committee. She is blessed and does not take for granted
the abundant number of volunteers who are passionate for their
respective tasks and hold an even greater passion for the
Boy Scout program.
In Troop 753 Mrs. Mobley has served as Advancement Chair and
as a Merit Badge Counselor for several Merit Badges. She is
trained in Boy Scout Fast Start, New Leader Essentials and
Online Committee Challenge.
J. Hiss, Senior Patrol Leader
As a young man of 15, Mr. Hiss has been a member of Boy Scouts since the age of 6. In those 9 years, Mr. Hiss has tackled increasingly challenging positions including: Patrol Quartermaster, Assistant Patrol Leader, Patrol Leader, and Troop Quartermaster, a position which he has fulfilled for the last two years. Mr. Hiss felt honored to be elected to the Order of the Arrow in just his second year of Boy Scouting, and he earned his Brotherhood within his second year in that organization. His most recent accomplishment was a grueling 12-day, 66-mile trek at Philmont Scout Ranch, where he served as Quartermaster for a crew of 12. Mr. Hiss is honored to have participated in the trek and feels that it was a great opportunity to demonstrate his strengths in both survival skills and scouting experience.
When most young men chose other directions with peer pressure, Mr. Hiss found it a challenge to tackle the next level of accomplishments. Between juggling school and scouting as a freshman in High School, he stood strong and made the choice to continue his passion for music by participating in both marching and symphonic band. He has also given back to his community and his neighborhood through various service projects. He hopes that his significant contributions will inspire the other young men in his troop to stand tall and not shy away from the challenges that are in their future.
