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

Pack 11 welcomes Dirk Hardtmann as the new Cubmaster for the coming year. He and the other leaders have planned an exciting year for boys in grades 1 through 5. The boys will work to become Tigers, Wolf Cubs, Bear Cubs, or Webelos depending on their grade.

The Pack meets the first Thursday of each month, 6:30–7:30pm in the Stewart-Adams Scout Hut across Academy Street from the Church. The Pack is looking forward to signing up new members this fall, especially members of the church and the Academy. Contact Dirk at dirk.hdt@gmail.com or 906.4196 to sign up. The more boys involved, the more fun and flexible the Pack becomes. We will be offering popcorn sales and ordering at the church on several Sundays in the early fall—please support the Pack!

Boy Scout Troop 11
Troop 11 is recruiting boys of middle school age for adventure in the out-of-doors. The Troop meets every Tuesday night, 7:00–8:30pm during the school year at the Stewart-Adams Scout Hut across Academy Street from the church. For more information, contact:

DID YOU KNOW?

In 2011, Boy Scout Troop 11

will celebrate its 100th 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.
