Scouting

Our troop's charter goes back to 1925, which means we were one of the first troops in DeKalb County.  Troop 18 prides itself on conducting 10 to 12 outings a year, with crews headed every summer to one of BSA’s four High Adventure Camps around the country.  We are a boy led troop where the boys decide our program with responsible adult oversight.  Our trips typically include canoeing, hiking, camping, caving, climbing, skiing, and more.  Every summer the troop goes to one week of summer camp.
 
We meet on Tuesday nights from 7:30 to 8:30 in the Scout Hut behind the Glenn Youth and Activities Building at 1669 North Decatur Road.  All members of the troop, scout leaders, and any interested parents or future scouts are welcome to attend!
 
A boy must be 11 years old and in the fifth grade to join a Scout Troop. Dues are $96.00 per year, payable during the re-charter period in December. Dues are prorated for boys joining during the year.  Troop 18 does not turn away any boy interested in the scouting experience for lack of funds.  Scholarships are available.

If you are interested in joining our troop, please come visit us during one of our meetings so that you can get a sense of whether Troop 18 is for you.

 Anyone wanting further information may contact Dave Speno, at 404-321-1696 or davidspeno@gmail.com, or any member of the Troop.

 

Glenn United Methodist Church also charters Cub Scouts Pack 6.  Pack 6 is for any boy age 6 to 10 or in the first through 5th grades.  We are one of the oldest Packs in the Atlanta area.  Our boys come primarily from Fernbank Elementary but we have boys from many other area schools as well.  The Pack meets monthly while the individual Dens meet separately once or twice a month, depending on the program. We camp as a Pack twice a year and usually go on a Big Trip during the winter.  Past trips have been to Cumberland Island, The Lost Sea, and the USS Yorktown Aircraft Carrier in Charleston SC.
 
Annual dues are $70.  Pack 6 does not turn any interested boy away for lack of funds.  Scholarships are available.
 
If you are interested in joining or would simply like to get more information please email Brandon Lisi, Pack 6 Cubmaster, at branden@object9.com.  He can also be reached at 678-447-2228.
