Scouting at St. John the Divine

St. John the Divine has a strong tradition of supporting Scouting for youth ages 5 – 20. Active scouts work on skills by utilizing emotional, physical, and spiritual guiding principles, and experience servant-leadership outdoor adventure and community support through volunteerism. While many participants of our scouting program are members of St. John the Divine, the majority are not. Our scouts have a broad range of economic, ethnic, and school backgrounds!
