SCOUTING @ NEW ARK
Our church is excited about starting a troop to serve our members, community, & surrounding areas! The first troop meeting will be Sunday, December 18th at 11:30AM. You are also invited to join us before the meeting for worship service at 9:30.
Everything in Girl Scouting is based on the Girl Scout Promise and Law, which include many principles and values that are common across religions. Because the organization understands that religious instruction is at the center of many families and communities, they openly invite Girl Scouts to take spiritual journeys via their faith’s religious recognitions. Our hope at New Ark is that, through Girl Scouts, we can build compassionate leaders with the values and skills to make our world a better place. [All girls are welcome, regardless of religious views or faith background.]
Girl Scouts even have the ability to annually earn the My Promise, My Faith pin. The My Promise, My Faith pin invites Girl Scouts to experience a faith journey by exploring the connections between the Girl Scout Law and teachings from their faith. Requirements for this pin are included in The Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting for all levels. You can learn more about this specific program HERE.
A Boy Scout troop is also in the works! Please stay tuned for the initial meeting and other information. If you are a male with previous Scout experience and would be interested in helping to lead or desire to volunteer with our new troop, please email social.newarkbaptist@gmail.com.
