Jax First UMC Supports Scouting!

Jacksonville First United Methodist Church is the chartering organization for BSA Troop 19. We are also the sponsoring organization for several Girl Scout Troops.

February 2020 was the 100th anniversary since scouting officially formed a relationship with the Methodist Episcopal Church. In the past century, United Methodist congregations have provided home base for more Scouts than any other denomination in America. Today, over 3,000 United Methodist churches charter almost 10,000 Scout units serving over 300,000 youth.   

We are glad to be one of the many United Methodist Churches that support scouting.

For more information on getting involved in scout troops at Jax First UMC, contact the Youth Director.
