Boy Scout Troop 82 and its associated Cub Scout pack operate as key youth outreach programs at Asbury Methodist Church in Lincolnton, NC. These units provide comprehensive character development, outdoor adventures, and leadership training for local youth.
Cub Scout Pack 82
The Cub Scout Pack serves elementary-school-aged children (grades K–5), introducing them to foundational life skills through structured family activities.
- Family-Centric Model: Program activities are specifically organized around family involvement, requiring parents or guardians to attend coordinated events and pack outings.
- Core Activities: Cub Scouts participate in signature annual events such as Pinewood Derby races, local nature hikes, day camps, and introductory family campouts.
- Advancement Structure: Youth are grouped into grade-specific Dens where they complete achievements to earn progress badges, which are formally recognized at a monthly, all-inclusive Pack Meeting.
- Meets Monday nights beginning August 17, 7PM-8PM in the fellowship hall at Asbury.
Boy Scout Troop 82
Troop 82 shifts the focus toward a youth-led, outdoor-focused curriculum designed for older children (ages 11–17) to foster independence and leadership.
