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 (843-662-3218) or one of the leaders.

On February 8, 1910 the Boy Scouts of America was formally incorporated. On March 30, 1948, Central UMC chartered Boy Scout Troop 475. In 2012, our troop turns 64 years old making it one of the oldest continuously charted troops in Florence County.
The Venturing Oath
As a Venturer, I promise to do my duty to God and help strengthen America, to help others, and to seek truth, fairness, and adventure in our world.

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.
Currently, we have a Daisy group and a Brownie group at Central United Methodist Church. There are registration packets in the church office.
