Group photograph of Richard Siemsen and Boy Scout Troop no. 76 posing outside Asbury Methodist Church on North Workman Street. The group poses at center and are viewed at a slight angle. They gather on the front lawn adjacent to the front walkway and steps leading into the church (out-of-frame at right). Richard Siemsen kneels in the front row, second from the left. Scoutmaster Charles Morgan kneels to the left of him. The Boy Scouts stand in 2 rows of 4 behind the front row and hold up flags. Behind the group, church attendees stand on the steps at right and along the walkway that stretches behind and to the left of the Scouts. Houses line North Workman in the distance at left. A wide streak of white stretches on an upward angle from the lower left corner towards the right, obscuring part of the image.
