Scouting and the Presbyterian Church

Presbyterian congregations have used the Scouting program in conjunction with the other phases of youth ministry for over 80 years. The program has served as a catalyst for strengthening relationships among youth, families, and congregations. It also serves as an outreach ministry for youth and families that may not have a church home. The First Presbyterian Church of Kennewick charters Cub Pack 148, Boy Scout Troop 148, and Venture Crew 148.

Cub Scouting

Boy Scouting

Boy Scouting is a program for boys age 11 through 17, and is designed to achieve the aims of Scouting through a vigorous outdoor program and peer group leadership with the counsel of an adult Scoutmaster and other adult leaders.

 

Cub Scouting is a family- and home-centered program for boys in the first through fifth grade. Cub Scouting's emphasis is on learning new skills and strengthening relationships in the family. First Grade boys are called Tiger Cubs and fourth- and fifth-grade boys are called Webelos (WE'll BE Loyal Scouts). Webelos participate in more advanced activities that begin to prepare them to become Boy Scouts.

Venturing

Venturing is for young men and young women ages 14 to 20. It includes challenging high-adventure activities, sports, and hobbies for teenagers that teach them leadership skills, provide opportunities to teach others, and give them an opportunity to learn and grow in a supporting, caring, and fun environment.

Religious Growth

Every Scout and leader pledges to do their duty to God. The Twelfth Point of the Scout Law is "a Scout is Reverent." Scouts of all faiths are welcome and can earn awards that help strengthen the understanding of their faith. The God and Country religious growth program is provided for Presbyterian youth in Scouting and includes the following recognition

  • God and Me (grades 1-3)
  • God and Family (grades 4-5)
  • God and Church (grades 6-8)
  • God and Life (grades 9-12)
