Family Scouting

 

 

John Moore was our speaker last week and we learned a great deal about Scouting in Pagosa Springs!  Starting in 2018, families can choose Cub Scouts for their sons AND daughters.  Most likely the main driver of this change was that families want programs like the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts for their daughters.  For the children age five to 10, the Scout pack could be made up of all boys, all girls or both boys and girls.  For ages eleven to seventeen it would be a all boy or all girl troop.

 

The Scouts BSA Pack and Scouts Troop are chartered by the United Methodist Church.  In addition, the Venturing Crew 612 has been chartered by St. Patrick's Episcopal Church.  The Venturing Crews decide their own area of focus but most are high adventure units.
