On Jan. 23, 2019, the Monrovia Troop 66 had the distinct honor to have SPC. Ethan Morse (Badge #548), a former Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Sentinel, speak to them alongside the Cub Scouts from Monrovia Pack 66, the American Legion Monrovia Post 44, and students from Arcadia Christian School at the Monrovia Community Center.
The lecture was opened by Star Scout and Senior Patrol Leader Willem Aponno calling the colors with Patrol Leader Degas Peters and Asst. Senior Patrol Leader Nathan Juarez carrying the American Flag and American Legion flag.

SPC. Morse captivated the audience for an hour and a half with stories of his time as a Tomb Sentinel and what it took to be a part of the Old Guard. The Scouts could not have been more fortunate to have this experience as to hear first-hand the experiences from a Tomb Sentinel as we are only used to seeing them from behind the ropes in Arlington. The Scouts asked a plethora of questions and kept SPC. Morse on his toes. SPC. Morse also shared with the group that he is currently attending Officers Candidate School (OCS).
