CTK SCOUT HISTORY

Cub Scout Pack 5 and Scouts BSA Troop 5 have been in existence for over one hundred years. The organization traces it's roots to Immaculate Conception Catholic Church which is where the CTK Parish also traces it's roots. The CTK Scouts BSA serves boys and girls from Kindergarten through the 12th grade. The mission of  Scouts BSA 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.

SCOUT OATH

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.

SCOUT LAW

A Scout is

• Trustworthy
• Loyal
• Helpful
• Friendly
• Courteous
• Kind
• Obedient
• Cheerful
• Thrifty
• Brave
• Clean
• Reverent

The purpose of this organization shall be to promote, through organization, and cooperation with other agencies, the ability of boys and girls to do things for themselves and others, to train them in Scoutcraft, and to teach them patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues, using the methods which are now in common use by Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA. One of the goals of the Scouts BSA is to provide, through chartered organizations, a program for boys, girls, young men, and young women designed to encourage them to be faithful in their religious duties, build desirable qualities of character, train and involve them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develop in them personal fitness.

Special emphasis will be placed in assisting the home, religious groups, and schools in achieving success in the development of abiding values in the lives of young people.

Pack and Troop 5 are always looking for new scouts!
