Riverside Presbyterian Church, our charter organization since 1939, invites you to attend RPC on Scout Sunday, February 7.  RPC’s service begins at 10:00 a.m. with Coffee Fellowship to follow in the Social Hall.

The Boy Scouts of America annually celebrates its founding on February 8, 1910, based on he program started by Lord Baden Powell in England in 1907.  Scout Sunday was added to the Scout celebration in the mid-1940’s.  The Scout Sunday tradition was started to make people in houses of worship aware of Scouting, and to allow Scouts to live out their “Duty to God” pledged each week.  The Scout Law says that a “Scout is Reverent” and Scouts of all ages promise to do their “Duty of God.”

Scout families who would like to provide treats for the coffee hour after the service are invited to drop them off in the Social Hall kitchen of the church any time between 9:00 and 10:45 a.m. Thanks for your contribution & hope to see you there!

If you can’t join us at RPC, wear your uniform proudly to whatever church you attend to show the community what we mean when we say “a scout is reverent.”
