Are you wondering if Boy Scouts are right for you?



 

Stop in at Ashworth Road Baptist Church @ 5300 Ashworth Road to see us in action almost every Monday from 7PM - 8:30.

We are a "boy-led" unit. That means YOUTH MEMBERS make the decisions regarding trip destinations, program ideas, and camp/meeting activities. When planning our agenda, the Scouts are given ONE instruction... "MAKE IT FUN". They get as creative as they can be when picking fun/exciting destinations and building in as much adventure as they can think of.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in joining, we'd love to have you visit us for a night or two and see how things go. There's always room for 1 more!
