Bennettsville Boy Scout Troop 625 Eagle Scout Candidate Light McNiel (pictured on right) with the assistance of fellow Scout Ford Munnerlyn reinstalled the Bennettsville Methodist Church South Carolina Historical Marker on Tuesday. McNiel’s Eagle Scout project has been to sandblast, repaint and reinstall more than 15 worn, peeling markers throughout Marlboro County.

McNiel is the son of Dan and Elisabeth McNiel and grandson of Bill and Peggy Kinney.

He is a 2020 graduate of Trinity-Byrnes Collegiate School in Darlington and plans to attend Wofford College in Spartanburg in the fall.
