Sponsorship: United Church of Penacook is a proud sponsor of Boy Scout Troop 83 which meets weekly on Tuesdays from 7 PM to 8:30 PM in Fellowship Hall at the United Church of Penacook. If you are interested in our program, contact Randy Charity at 796-6482 or George Stinson at 753-9752 or stop by our weekly meeting to learn more about Troop 83.

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America 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. At weekly meetings, the boys work on traditional scout skills and plan monthly outings to work on basic scouting skills, to provide leadership opportunities to the boys, or just to have fun. Events can include an overnight biking trip, the fall jamboree, swimming at the YMCA, a ski trip, and overnight at a winter cabin.

Giving Back: The Boy Scouts participate in the annual Scouting for Food and the annual church clean-up. Periodically, the troop works at the UCP Open Door Community Kitchen. During the summer, the troop takes on projects such as scraping and painted the north wall of UCP or the handicap ramp at the main entrance..
