Did you know that IPC first sponsored Scout Troop 28 in 1923? The good news is, we are still here and are recruiting new boys to benefit from all that Scouting has to offer. Scouting can also co-exist with youth sports!
Who?
Generally speaking, boys join Scouting at the age of 11 or 5th grade, but jumping in later is completely okay. We have Scouts from several different school systems, and we see this diversity as something that makes Troop 28 extra special. Parents are also welcome, and we guarantee you will also get a lot out of Scouting.
What?
Troop 28 enjoys camping, canoeing, fishing trips, visiting cool places, and so much more. Most of all, our Scouts are having fun.
When/Where?
We have just finished updating our Troop 28 Scout Hut located directly behind Highland Hall on the IPC campus. Kendall Holman, our Scoutmaster, leads meetings each Monday evening at 6:45 pm, which last for about an hour.
Why?
This is the most important part. Yes, Scouting gives the boys an opportunity to explore the world, but it also creates a place for them to develop character, learn values of citizenship and leadership, and work on mental and physical fitness. It is a somewhat structured environment where we learn everyday life and outdoor skills along the way. During a time where so many people feel disconnected, Scouting gives us an opportunity to foster real relationships and grow exponentially on a personal level while also making positive contributions to our community. I would like to personally invite you and your son(s) to come a meeting. If you're
not familiar with Scouting, I'm happy to answer all the questions you may have.
SAVE THE DATE
On December 14, after the 11 worship service, we will be hosting an open house at the Scout Hut for interested parents and their boys who are of Scout age or will be soon. Please stop by for a visit and learn more about Scouting at IPC.
