Girl and Boy Scout Programs at CLPC

CLPC has been involved with scouting for over thirty years. We sponsor both a Cub Scout Pack and a Boy Scout Troop, as well as providing meeting Space for Brownie and Girl Scout units.

Scouting provides our youth with values, morals and directed programs that encourage good citizenship, learning, leading and teamwork All of the programs are open to any youth, within their gender, and all welcome new members at all times.

Many in the congregation were members in their youth and many adults have served scouting in some capacity once they had children of their own. Without this participation, scouting would not be the great program that it is for our children.

If you would like more information about scouting for your daughter or son please read on and contact the indicated person or persons listed for the program. They will be happy to help you.

Girl Scouting Programs

Girl Scouting is divided into several programs Girls in Kindergarten are Daisy's. while Brownies follow for the first through third grades Next, girls in the fourth through sixth grades are Juniors. At this stage, it can vary somewhat, in that sixth through eighth or seventh through ninth graders are Cadets and after Cadets through age 17 are Seniors. For more information or to register your daughter in any level of the program, call:

Girl scouting provides a wide variety of opportunities for young ladies to develop new skills, to have new experiences, to see and do lots of different types of activities and even to travel. This council offers a variety of summer camp experiences ranging from sailing on Galveston Bay to horse back riding to canoeing to nature exploration and the fun of sleeping in tents.

Girls also develop poise, self confidence and social skills through their interaction with others. It is a wonderful asset for any girl as she grows.

Cub Scouts

The Boy Scoubng program has three distinct areas. These are the Cub Scout program for boys in the first through fifth grades, the Boy Scouts for boys 11 to 18 and a coed program for young ladies and young men between the ages of 14 and 21 called Venturing that primarily is a high adventure program. There is also a career awareness Exploring program for the same older age group.

CLPC has had both a Cub Scout pack and a Boy Scout troop for almost the entire history of the church. It has been an important part of the youth ministry of this church as well as an important outreach to the community at large. Most of the members are not church members, but many families have joined after their sons became active in scouts here.

Cub Scouts have several programs. These are Tigers for first graders, Bear and Wolf Cubs for second and third graders and Webelo's for fourth and fifth graders. Boys may join at any time of the year at their grade level.

The program provides many opportunities for boys to learn, to develop social relational skills and teamwork, to go, see and do lots of activities that they might not otherwise in their families and to enjoy outdoor activities.

Boy Scouts

Boys 11 to 18 enjoy the outdoors and woods. They go together! Boy Scouting takes advantage of that natural affinity by building their program around the out of doors with lots of camping, hiking, swimming, canoe and sailing programs and other activities. In addition, as they progress, they learn self confidence, leadership, management and organizational skills; as well as learning about many different specialty areas.

The troop here at CLPC meets every Tuesday in Celebration Hall at 7 p.m. If you are interested in joining, or would like to visit to see what it is all about, come to a meeting or call for more info.
