Scouting at St. John's:

St. John's supports the mission of the Boy Scouts of America. It is our wish to one day sponsor a Troop. Until then, we want to ensure that all boys of our community are afforded an opportunity to join a Troop in our area.

If you like to hike, bike, camp, and learn many different type of skills that will help you in your life, please consider joining Boy Scouts. If you know a boy who is 11 years old or has completed the 5th grade or if you are an adult that would like to become a leader, please contact Doug Baker 469-0551, Scouting Coordinator, St. John's United Methodist Church, Grantville, PA, 17028.
