Boy Scouts
BOY SCOUT TROOP 50. Our goal is to fulfill the mission of the Boy Scouts of America in the youth in the Pike Creek area of New Castle County, Delaware. We strive to develop in our boys a character of respect, fitness, and self-reliance so that they can be contributing citizens to society.
The primary character we aim for is outlined by three duties of a Scout, as stated in the Boy Scout Oath. These are: Duty to God and Country, Duty to Others, and Duty to Self. The three duties are fulfilled by adherence to the 12 points of the Scout Law: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.
To attain these goals, Troop 50 conducts an active and varied monthly camping program, long-term summer camp, and high-adventure program. We operate by the Patrol Method, in which boys practice good citizenship by electing and following their own leaders.
An outstanding staff of trained adult volunteers teach leadership skills and guide the boy leaders of the Troop. Weekly Troop meetings are planned, developed, and carried by the boys to meet the specific objectives of the Troop. These are to teach necessary skills, to promote physical, mental, and emotional fitness, and service to others.
We meet at Ebenezer United Methodist Church in Newark, Delaware.
Troop 50 (boys, ages 11- 17) and Troop 1050 (girls, ages 11 - 17) meet every Thursday from 7pm to 8:30pm in the CLC. Exceptions are holidays, Holy Thursday, Thursday between Christmas and New Years, and the Thursday after the Troop goes to summer camp.
Pack 50 (boys and girls ages 5 to 10) has its Pack meetings on the second Thursday of the month in one of the classrooms downstairs. Den meetings are often, but not always at Ebenezer at 11:30 am on Sundays. Exceptions are also holidays, and Holy Thursday.
