About Our Scout Group
Our Scout Group has proudly been part of St. Paul’s URC Church since 1953, continuing a long tradition of community spirit, friendship, and adventure. We are a team of dedicated volunteers who give our time freely to create fun, safe, and meaningful experiences for young people.
Our aim is simple — to help every child build memories, enjoy new adventures, and develop skills for life.
From their very first campfire to their final leadership challenge, we inspire confidence, teamwork, and a sense of belonging that lasts a lifetime.
