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.

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.
