OUR REDEEMER SCOUTS

Our Redeemer is proud to be the chartering organization for Cub Scout Pack 821, Boy Scout Troop 821, and Venturing Crew 821. All three groups are part of the Boy Scouts of America.

Parents of boys 7-10 years can enroll their youngsters in Cub Scout Pack 821. Cub Scouts meet on alternate Tuesdays at 6:30 in the fellowship hall.

Cub Scouting means "doing." Everything in Cub Scouting is designed to have the boys doing things. Activities are used to achieve the aims of Scouting—citizenship training, character development, and personal fitness. Many of the activities happen right in the den and pack. The most important are the weekly den meetings and the monthly pack meetings.

Apart from the fun and excitement of Cub Scout activities, the Cub Scout Promise, the Law of the Pack, and the Cub Scout sign, handshake, motto, and salute all teach good citizenship and contribute to a boy's sense of belonging.

Boys 10 1/2 to 17 are welcome to join Boy Scout Troop 821. They meet every Monday at 7:15 in the fellowship hall.

Boy Scouting, one of the traditional membership divisions of the BSA, is available to boys who have earned the Arrow of Light Award and are at least 10 years old or have completed the fifth grade and are at least 10, or who are 11, but not yet 18 years old. The program achieves the BSA's objectives of developing character, citizenship, and personal fitness.

Scout Oath (or Promise) On my honor I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times;  To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Law A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.

No other organizations develop moral character, life skills, and leadership opportunities in our youth like the Boy Scouts of America. We can always use more interested adults volunteering their time. No previous experience is necessary. Training sessions are always available.

Anyone interested can contact Stu Ruff at 440 759-6626 or Gary Dolch at 440 248-4632.

Venturing is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years of age.

Venturing's purpose is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults.

Venturing is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth, adult leaders, and organizations in their communities. Local community organizations establish a Venturing crew by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of exciting and meaningful activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, develop leadership skills, and become good citizens.

Venturing crews can specialize in a variety of avocation or hobby interests. Interested teens can contact Scott Strawn at 440 349-2704. Venture Crew 821 meets at Our Redeemer on alternate Tuesdays.
