Boy Scouts of America
Old North State Council
Troop
 
The mission of
the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral
choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath
and Law. The Scout Oath reads “On my honor I will do my best to do my duty
to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all
times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight”. The Scout Law states, “ A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful,
friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and
reverent.”
Hebron United
Methodist Church has a long history of support for the programs of Boy Scouts of
America. This support started with its first charter in 1959 of Pack 835 and in
1962 of Troop 836, both in the Occoneechee Council. In 1989 Troop 36 was
chartered through the Old North State Council of Boy Scouts of America.
Troop 36 enjoys
an active outdoor program and is gearing up for more high adventure activities.
We have had great success retaining the enthusiasm of our scouts in the past and
the future is bright. Our successes can be measured by the number of Eagle
Scouts developed through our troop, but most importantly it is measured by the
many fond memories and the character and values that these young men will take
with them through the rest of their life.
