BOY SCOUTS FOR HOMESCHOOLERS
The
leadership of Pack and Troop 122 would like to introduce Boy Scout Pack
& Troop 122. Leaders are committed to the ministry of raising Godly
boys into the leaders of tomorrow. Utilizing the BSA program,
based on Christian principles and character, we create an environment
for young men to experience the opportunities of leadership, the
struggles and rewards of working towards and attaining goals, and
building Godly friendship. Baden Powell, founder of modern day Boy
Scouts, believed there are three critical relationships we are to
maintain:
Man to God: When asked where
religion came into Scouting and Guiding, Baden-Powell replied, "It does
not come in at all. It is already there. It is a fundamental factor
underlying Scouting and Guiding." Powell stated: First: Love and
serve God.
Man to Man: Powel stated: Second:
Love and serve your neighbor. We model this behavior supporting and
encouraging the Scouting Patrol method. This incorporates roles and
opportunities of leadership, service, and cooperation. Learning to get
along with our fellow man, while maintaining a fellowship among young
Christian men.
Man to Environment: God has
never rescinded the our responsibility of taking care of the Earth.
Using the BSA program we take advantage of its resources to enjoy and
be responsible with God's precious gift.
Our Pack &
Troop is two years old. The Troop starting with 5 Scouts in Sept 2008
has a present membership of 18. Our Pack has grown from 9 to current
membership of 28. We are active and meet weekly, with planned monthly
outings. We have 90% home school population, but do have non home
school Scouts as well.
We have members from Brighton, Chili, Henrietta, Irondequoit, Leroy, Pittsford, Rochster, Scottsville, and Webster
If
you have an interest in Scouting, please contact Troop122 leadership.
We would be interested in speaking with you 1-1, with your LEAH
group, or Church regarding our program. If you are interested in
visiting, an appointment can be setup to tour the facilities, and meet
with Pack and/or Troop leadership depending on your needs and interest.
Please contact Troop122 Committee Chair, William Redman, at troop122@gmail.com, or call 585.359.4845

Lending Library/Book Swap for Homeschoolers
OneWay
has opened a Library & Book Swap for Rochester area homeschoolers.
The church has dedicated a room and shelf space to house books and other
materials that might be useful. Here's how it works:
If you
would like to use something from the library, you simply take it and
use it. When you're done, either return it to the library or give it to
someone else who could use it. This operates on the honor system, and
no one will be monitoring what comes in or goes out. We will trust the
users to not sell any materials taken form the library, or hold on to
them past their time of use.
If you would like to donate materials, they are always welcome. Please call Ellen at 621-6445, or send an email to gerwitz@charityleah.org.
One
final note - we also will not be keeping a running list of materials.
If you are interested in what's available you must stop in and take a
look. Call Matt at the church, 235-7970, to make sure someone is there.
Most days you should be able to get in during the afternoon hours. If
you can't reach anyone at the church, call Matt at 621-6445 (h) or
260-7811 (c).
