As adult Scouters at St. Paul United Methodist Church, it is our mission (1) to provide leadership and guidance for boys who look to us as role models in a complex and confusing world, (2) to use our best efforts to create opportunities for teaching and practicing the ideals of the Scout Law and Promise, including our duty to God, (3) to provide opportunities for every boy participating in the Scouting program at St. Paul to advance from Tiger Cub to Eagle Scout if he is diligent and committed to the principles set forth in the Scout Promise and Law, (4) to create a nurturing environment for the boys consistent with the Christian principles of the United Methodist Church, although mindful and respectful of the individual faith of each boy and his family, and (5) to fulfill the Promise in our own lives and to deliver the Promise to our Scouts.

1. Personal Growth. Provide opportunities for personal growth, development and maturity for all boys in the St. Paul UMC neighborhood through the Scouting program.

2. Advancement. Provide opportunities for every boy participating in the Scouting program at St. Paul to advance over his years of Scouting from Tiger Cub to Eagle Scout if he is diligent and committed to the principles set forth in the Scout Promise and Law.

3. Outdoor Experiences. Provide opportunities for outdoor experiences for all Scouts through hiking and camping and for high adventure experiences for older Scouts, which may include trips to Philmont Scout Ranch, National Jamboree, and other out of state destinations.

4. Spiritual Development. Provide a nurturing spiritual environment and opportunities for spiritual development through participation in the religious awards program for each Scout’s faith and educational level (i.e., God & Me, God & Family, God & Church and God & Life).
