Boy Scout Troop 29

     Bashford United Methodist Church sponsors (charters) Boy Scout Troop 29. We encourage any interested boys between the ages of 11 to 17 to come and visit a meeting. The Boy Scout meetings are held every Monday night at 7:00 pm at Bashford UMC Fellowship Hall.

     The Boy Scout program involves the boy more heavily in small peer group dynamics with the adult-role model becoming more significant. The program revolves around leadership opportunity; decision-making; hiking; camping; and personal achievement. The boy is exposed to over 120 hobby and career choices, frequently resulting in life-long involvement
