SCOUTING

Asbury is the charter organization to Cub Scout Pack 350 and Boy Scout Troop 350

All about Pack 350: Kindergarten through 5th Grade

Pack 350 was chartered at Asbury Church in 1984 and re-charters each January.   We’re part of the Impeesa District within the Occoneechee Council.  The Pack currently consists of more than 50 registered Cub Scouts and 17 registered Adult Scouters. 

 

Pack 350 has consistently earned Quality Unit awards for its program. The Scouts in our Pack receive one of the highest levels in Cub Scouting, the Arrow of Light. As we partner with Asbury Church, we schedule and encourage our Scouts to participate in service projects and outreach opportunities throughout the year.

 

Cub Scouting teaches values consistent with good citizenship, character development, and physical fitness. Boy Scouts of America has been weaving these lifetime values into fun and educational activities since 1910.  Cub Scouting teaches family values and works to strengthen your relationship with your son. Scouting activities can bring added value to the time you already have with your son.

We know that boys do not join Cub Scouting just to get their character built. Boys join because it is fun! Pack 350 is the place to be!

Visitors always welcome!

Pack Meetings are held on the third Friday of the month from 6:30 – 8:00 in the North Building at Asbury Church.

During this time the scouts receive the awards that they have been working on during the past month.  There are several Pack Meetings during the year that may be longer, but we make every attempt to be respectful of your family’s time.
 

The Pack, including families, also participates in other special events throughout the year, including:

  • Pinewood Derby
  • Cub Scouts, with the help of their parents, build and race a model car.
  • Blue and Gold Banquet
  • A celebration of Cub Scouting’s birthday held at February’s Pack Meeting.
  • Camping
  • Overnight and day camp opportunities introduce your family to the camping experience. Pack 350 has overnight camps twice a year – October and April.
  • Service Projects 
    • We participate in food drives, meal packaging events, conservation projects, and other community service activities.
      Field Trips and Special Outings

Dens participate in field trips or site visits to complete Scouting requirements. As a Pack, we hold special events throughout the year, such as rocket launch, pool party, bike rodeo, rain gutter regatta, zoo snoozes, etc.

All about Troop 350: 6th thru 12th Grade

Boy Scout Troop 350 in Raleigh, NC was chartered in 1987 and recharters each January. The troop currently consists of 55 registered Scouts and 23 registered adult Scouters. We currently have four patrols. Our troop follows the BSA prescribed format, which means the youth members plan and implement the program. Our troop is run by a Patrol Leaders Council (PLC) headed up by the Senior Patrol Leader (SPL). Our Scoutmaster and assistant Scoutmasters work with the PLC and the patrols to ensure a quality program.

Troop 350 offers year-round camping opportunities. The troop goes on at least one camping trip each month and some months we have more than one opportunity. Each summer, we offer an intermediate class high adventure trip within the state of North Carolina and neighboring states like Virginia. We also offer an advanced Scout high adventure trek to far off places like Canada or the western United States.

Troop 350 has consistently earned Quality Unit awards for its program and the Scouts in our troop receive one of the highest levels of rank and merit badge awards in our district. Since our sponsor is a church, our Troop frequently provides unparalleled service projects and outreach opportunities for Scouts and their families.

If you are looking for adventure, challenge, and a good time; if you are not afraid of a little hard work and discipline, then Troop 350 is the place to be! Visitors are always welcome.

When we meet

Troop 350 meets every Tuesday night starting at 7:00 PM at Asbury United Methodist Church. We meet for an hour and a half, and in that time the scouts work on merit badges, finish rank advancement requirements, and have a good time. One of the purposes of our troop is to provide boys with a friendly learning environment that is more relaxed than school, yet still teaches basic values, and ways to interact with others. Our goal is for every scout in our troop to leave with more knowledge than when he arrived.
