Scouting at First Pres
Kennewick First Presbyterian supports Scouting for all ages through Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Girl Scouts. Our scout troops always welcome new members, please contact the appropriate person listed below if you have questions. We believe that cost should NOT keep a kid from becoming a scout, so we have scholarship programs in place to assist families that need it.
Girl Scouts - Monday, 4:30-5:30 PM, Garden Sanctuary
Girl Scouts at First Pres is a grand adventure! Currently we have a Brownies, Juniors and Cadettes in our program. The girls go on outings, learn new skills, work on their advancement, and bless us with cookie sales each year.

Religious Growth
Every Scout and leader pledges to do their duty to God. The Twelfth Point of the Scout Law is "a Scout is Reverent." Scouts of all faiths are welcome and can earn optional awards that help strengthen the understanding of their faith. The God and Country religious growth program includes God and Me (grades 1-3), God and Family (grades 4-5), God and Church (grades 6-8), and God and Life (grades 9-12).
