Boy Scouts & Sea Scouts
We have a cub scout troop, boy scout troop, and sea scout troop that all meet at the church. Contact
the church office or use one of the picture links below for info about scouting and troop and ship contact info.
The
purpose of Boy Scouts is to provide an educational program for boys and young adults to build character, to train in the responsibilities
of participating citizenship, and to develop personal fitness. Boy Scouts is a year-round program for
boys 11 through 17 designed to achieve the aims of Scouting through a vigorous outdoor program and peer group leadership with
the counsel of an adult Scoutmaster. They have many special activities available to them, such as camporees, summer
camps, Scouting shows, and national jamborees.

Sea Scouting is a coed outdoor program for young
adults 14 - 20 years old and their adult advisors. Sea
Scout units, called "ships," focus on sailing and cruising either sailboats or power vessels. During the boating
seasons, Sea Scouts learn to maintain and operate then vessel, with a focus on learning the safe and proper methods of handling
boats. Sea Scouts also learn the meaning of buoys and lights, how to take advantage of wind and tide, and how to drop anchor
or approach a dock. Swimming, lifesaving, first aid, Coast
Guard Auxiliary Sailing and Seamanship, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation courses are taught with the ship by our own officers.
The state safe boating course is also offered by many ships. Occasionally movies are shown, contests between crews are held,
or intership visits are arranged.
