Pastor Mike Rowe has led the effort to revive the tradition since last Spring. “Scouting is the beginning of a lifelong journey of leadership excellence,” Rowe said. “Scouting can open doors in the military, in education, and in professional life.” Meeting times for both groups will be decided at sign-up.
