The Paint Branch Unitarian Universalist Church Board of Trustees has approved the sponsorship of a SpiralScouts™ troop to meet at their church in Adelphi Maryland!
SpiralScouts™ International is a program for girls and boys of minority faiths working, growing and learning together. Making its public debut in February of 2001, SpiralScouts™ International has grown into an expanded program available to anyone world wide. We now serve youth in 20 US States, Canada and Europe.
While SpiralScouts™ was developed on Pagan beliefs and practices, it is designed to be adaptable by other minority faiths as well. In addition to traditional woodland lore, camping and the outdoor living skills, the program includes teaching the many mythologies of the ancient world. Uniquely, it includes a component new to youth group programming - life strategies and skills for teens, to help them learn early how to have good relationships with their peers and adults, and interpersonal skills that will serve them throughout their adult lives.
SpiralScouts™ membership is open to children between the ages of 3 and 18 from all religious backgrounds, including Paganism and other minority faith traditions. We encourage diversity and acceptance in our groups. All are welcome to become members. Within the program there are three levels of child participation:
* FireFlies™ range from preschoolers through age 8.
* SpiralScouts™ range from age 8 through 14.
* PathFinders™ range from 14 up to 18.
The Nature Spirituality Circle of PBUUC will begin the chartering process shortly, and is looking for both leadership and membership in our new and as yet unnamed Circle. Please contact Tina Van Pelt at cvanpeltah@aol.com or Paul Richards at paulric@yahoo.com for further information.
