Scouting Programs at Peakland

Peakland United Methodist Church is committed to Scouting programs serving children and youth in our community. Over a period of 40 years, Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops have met in our church and continue to do so today.

Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts

Peakland United Methodist Church is an active supporter of the Boy Scouts of America. Boy Scout Troop 29 and Cub Scout Pack 29 have been in continuous operation at Peakland since 1959.

Boy Scout Troop 29 is composed of sixth graders who are at least ten and a half years old, through eighteen year olds. The troop has approximately 50 scouts and meets every Monday evening at 7:00 p.m.

Cub Scout Pack 29 consists of first through fifth grade boys. The Cub Scouts are divided into several different dens, which are based on the Scout's grade in school: Tiger Cubs (first graders), Wolf Cubs (second grade), Bears (third grade), Webelos I (fourth grade), and Webelos II (fifth grade). The individual dens meet at various times each month during the school year.

 

The three goals of the BSA movement at all age levels are: to build character by developing self-reliance, self-discipline, self-confidence, and self-respect; to foster citizenship; and to develop fitness which includes physical, emotional, and moral fitness.

The goals of Scouting are set forth by the following Cub Scout and Boy Scout Oaths:

Cub Scout Oath:
I, (your name), promise to do my best
To do my duty to God and my country,
To help other people, and
To obey the Law of the Pack.

Boy Scout Oath:
I, (your name), On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Girl Scout Programs

The program goals for Scouts in the Girl Scouts include: developing self potential, relating to others to encourage understanding and appreciation of people from all cultures, races and religions; developing values by promoting actions and decisions that show respect for all people; contributing to society to work in cooperation with others for the community benefit especially in ways that eliminate discriminations and promote diverse people working or playing together.

Peakland actively supports Daisy (ages5-6), Brownie (ages 6-8), Junior (ages 8-11), Cadette (ages 11-14)), and Senior (ages 14-17) Girl Scout Troops. Individual groups meet at various times every month during the school year.

Girl Scout Promise:

On my honor, I will try:  To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

 

Scouting programs help girls and boys to grow and become the best they can be!
