"And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and men."  Luke 2:52

As an extension of the Calvary Church Children’s and Family Ministries program, Unit 957’s mission is to provide a Christ centered, family focused and fun-filled program for parents to develop strong relationships with their sons, and to provide a safe Christian environment to help boys become godly men using the Scouting program materials provided by the Boy Scouts of America.
 

This site is designed to keep you in touch with what is happening with BSA 957.  We will do our best to keep the site as up to date as possible. It's always a good idea to check for any late breaking announcements before attending any scouting event.

    **Dad-n-Lad Notes: 
    1. Dad must attend and stay overnight with their scout(s).

    2. Get Excited! This is an important step for our boys. Many of them need their dad there with them for their first full night in a tent in the woods. We generally see boys "GROW-UP" overnight through the experience of sleeping in a "Boy Scout Camp Tent" with their dads. Beaumont tents are not totally sealed off like modern tents. If they are encouraged, boys begin to love sleeping in the outdoors and the beautiful natural world God has given us. Many of them go from being "scared of the woods" at night to "sleeping out under the stars" without tents later in their teens as boy scouts.

    Do what you can to adjust you schedules to be with your sons for Dad-n-Lad. You and your son will remember it and talk about it for many years to come, even when he is an adult.

  • Calvary Church Serve Day (March 24)
    On Saturday, March 24 from 9AM - 12PM youth and adults from Pack, Troop & Crew 957 (siblings welcome) are going to give back to our Chartering Organization (Calvary Church) by cleaning up the treeline between the parking lot and the soccer/baseball fields. Beginning at the Shelter and working toward the storage shed. The church provides many resources for our units and this project is just one way that we can give back to the church.

    Everyone is asked to provide loppers, bow saws & work gloves. We need help cutting down brush and hauling the brush up to the parking lot. We also need some trucks and/or trailers along with some St. Peters residents so we can take everything to the St. Peters recycle center to drop off the brush we clear out.

    We need work coordinators from each unit and a sign up list of attendees! I would like to get 100% family participation! Mark your calendars and be there ready to serve. The unit will provide a hot dog lunch at the end of the work day.

  • Blue & Gold Banquet (Feb. 23rd)
    The Blue & Gold Banquet is our birthday party for Cub Scouting held in February. At the banquet we celebrate all the hard work and achievements of the scouts, parents, and leaders.  

    We encourage the whole family to attend. This is the perfect event to invite the grandparents to attend.  

    Tickets are available for purchase at the den meeting and pack meetings, and must be purchased by the first den meeting in February. The tickets are $5 per person, or $25 per family (kids 3 and under eat free). The tickets are only required for the meal; no ticket is necessary to attend the banquet.   

    The doors will open at 5:45 PM, dinner will be served at 6 PM, and the program will start at 6:45 PM. 

    This is one of the most important events of the year. So, make sure the scouts wear their full uniform with all of their patches and medals.

    Check out the Blue & Gold Banquet event page for all the details.
