SCOUTS



Troop 11 has been sponsored by First Presbyterian Church since 1911, but we welcome boys from all faiths. Troop 11 was the first troop established in South Carolina! In Scouting and especially in Troop 11, we believe that the first and foremost duty is in the start to the Scout Oath, “On my Honor I will do my best to do my duty to God.”

JOIN US!

Cub Scouts
Cub Scout Pack 11

Boys ages 6–10 are welcome to join Cub Scout Pack 11. Pack 11 has a lot of fun activities planned, including camping, songs, skits, crafts, and yes, selling popcorn. When you combine all this fun with dedicated leaders, you get boys learning new skills while having fun and spending time with positive role models, something many boys we try to reach don’t get.

Your support of the Scouting program, financially through your tithes and popcorn purchases, and spiritually through your prayers for our boys and leaders, enables a tremendous outreach of our church into the community.


Any and all boys who are in the first through fifth grades are welcome to join us at any Pack meeting and check out the fun in Cub Scouting. Contact Mike Wilder, Cubmaster, at 505-1183 or mwilder817@gmail.com.

Boy Scout Troop 11
Boys ages 11–17 are welcome to join Boy Scout Troop 11. Come join us sailing on Lake Hartwell, canoeing, hiking and high ropes at Camp Buc, whitewater rafting, and many other adventures. Visit us any Tuesday night at 7:30pm at the Stewart-Adams Scout Building next to St. Mary’s on West Washington St. Contact Joe Barron, Scoutmaster, at 915-3982 or jbarron@synterracorp.com for more information.


Troop 11 is an active troop, with camping trips scheduled throughout the year. The troop has a higher than usual percentage of Eagle Scouts and provides a great opportunity for individual growth.

Sea Scouts
Young men and women ages 14–20 are invited to come sailing with the Sea Scouts. For more information, contact Nick Moody (363-6425). Sea Scouts go sailing on Lake Hartwell, take beach trips to Kiawah, are offered scuba classes, participate in a Habitat for Humanity work day, and help maintain the lakefront camp for John Knox Presbyterian Church.

DID YOU KNOW?

In 2008, Boy Scout Troop 11

will celebrate its 97th birthday
at First Presbyterian Church!

Pictured above:

These boys, members of the
first Scout troop in Greenville
County, are shown while on their
first camping trip at the foot of
Panther Mountain in July 1911.

The boys were lined up to march
eight miles to the town of Brevard
to visit the widow of General Stonewall Jackson who was spending the summer there. The
troop is believed to be the first organized in South Carolina. It was
the 3,850th troop to be organized in the United States. Scoutmaster A.G. Gower is pictured at the left.
