The Trail of Tears District Boy Scouts honored Kenneth âCoonâ Victory with the Smyrna âGood Scout Awardâ for his service to the community and raised $10,000 in donations at their annual luncheon last week.
About 40 people gathered inside the Smyrna Train Depot to support the Scouts and celebrate Victoryâs receiving of the highest honor for citizenship of the Middle Tennessee Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Victoryâs wife, Esther, and daughter, Smyrna Mayor Mary Esther Reed, were also in attendance.
