The Faith of the United Church of Christ and Being a Scout in Adventure Scouts USA |
The Scout Programs of Adventure Scouts USA encourage our Scouts to have a spiritual approach to life. We provide the leadership to support the growth and character development of our co-ed membership and the greater community. We accomplish this by providing contemporary skill-oriented activities that enrich individuals on a non-discriminatory basis. We put principles of mutual respect into practice through FUN social activities, enhancing character as instilled by parents, personal achievement, learning by doing, and related educational programs promoting good character in our members and the greater community. Our teams may be sponsored by United Church of Christ Churches and organizations. Our Team Sponsors are those who work for the benefit of youth. Together, the Scout Programs of Adventure Scouts USA along with United Church of Christ Churches and organizations can increase participation by United Church of Christ families, and strengthen United Church of Christ values through character education, and a sense of belonging. We welcome United Church of Christ Scouts and members and enable fulfillment of their religious responsibilities. We assist our United Church of Christ Scouts and members to integrate their faith into everyday life and help families to share their faith on their child’s journey of faith. The United Church of Christ is united and uniting, open and affirming. The membership of the United Church of Christ is one of the most diverse congregations in the United States. We too value diversity. We are the only fully nondiscriminatory Scout Program in the United States. |
