Scouting Programs

Central UMC sponsors several scouting programs for both boys and girls. Scouting builds strong character, citizenship, and values. It also teaches outdoor skills and gives experiences that last a lifetime.

If you have a son in grades 1-5 interested in Cub Scouts or grades 6-12 interested in Boy Scouts, please call the church office (662-3218) or one of the leaders.

friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong,
and responsible for what I say and do,

The Girl Scout program encourages the development of leadership and decision-making skills through specific activities, experiences with self-government and girl/adult partnership, as well as through the influence of adult role models. Service to others is an important element of the Girl Scout program.
