Troop Leadership

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.


Larry Stavinoha, Committee Chairman

While growing up in Manvel, TX, Larry Stavinoha began his Scouting journey. Mr. Stavinoha was a Cub Scout and Webelos Scout in Pack 483 during this time.

As the years passed, Mr. Stavinoha was once again drawn to Scouting. As his sons entered Cub Scouts with Pack 845 at Furneaux Elementary, Mr. Stavinoha became a volunteer serving as a Committee Member, Pack Webmaster, Pinewood Derby timekeeper as well as many other positions. Mr. Stavinoha's scouting spirit also carried over to his sons' baseball team and schools, where he volunteered in various positions.

Mr. Stavinoha continued his journey in Scouting along with his youngest son. Upon joining Troop 753, Mr. Stavinoha immediately became a Committee Member, Spring and Fall Advancement Day Chairperson and Committee Secretary. Mr. Stavinoha has also helped with Youth Leadership Training for the Troop.

Mr. Stavinoha attended Woodbadge 86 at Camp Wisdom in Spring 2008 and has recently completed his Tickets.


A. Williams, Senior Patrol Leader

Mr. Williams is 17 years old, and has been a dedicated scout for nine years, having joined as a Bear Cub in the third grade. He has served and accomplished leadership positions in preperation for the many tasks and leadership opportunities as the Senior Patrol Leader. He was the troop Quartermaster for two full terms, and has been the Assistant Patrol Leader of multiple patrols.

Along with his leadership in and outside of scouts he has dedicated over 70 nights camping, 105 hours of service, 171 miles hiking, and has reached the summit of seven 10,000 + foot moutain peaks with this troop. He has been to a Rocky Motntain High Adventure Base and completed a 68 mile trek at Philmont Scout Ranch.

Outside of the troop, he has been chosen to represent the US as a youth ambassador in the People to People program and is taking a trip to Europe this summer. He is planning on getting his masters degree through the United States Marine Corps and intends to serve his country additional years in the military.

Boy Scout Troop 753 was established in 1998 with 9 scouts and two leaders. We now have 41 Boy Scouts and many registered leaders. Our troop currently has 7 Wood Badge Trained Leaders, and we have had 21 scouts attain the rank of Eagle, with many Life Scouts on the way up.

The troop meets from 6:30 - 8:30 pm on Monday nights at Aldersgate UMC. We have regular monthly camping trips and a variety of scout skill programs and games.We do an annual week-long summer camp, and attend the council winter camp. Troop 753 specializes in camping and having fun.

Our troop adheres to the Boy Scout principles of being boy-led. We utilize the patrol method of organization, and all boy leaders must participate in the new Troop Leadership Training developed by BSA. New scouts are put into a Trail to First Class program to help ease their transition into Boy Scouts.
