Starting in February our pack will have a series of Religious Diversity tours to various houses of faith in our area. This program is meant to explore other faiths and help to give our scouts an appreciation of their cultures and religion and beliefs. Respect, tolerance and understanding is our goal and to increase our understanding.

Religious Diversity Exploration Program
Pack 250 – Rock Island
Starting in February our Pack will offer a series of field trips to visit and learn about different religions. It is our hope that by exploring differing faiths and learning about them our scouts will be more respectful and knowledgeable towards those of differing faiths. Scouting is a worldwide organization that represents many
Faiths, Creeds and Countries, so it is helpful for our scouts to gain a sense of understanding and appreciation.
We will offer three field trips to visit the following houses of worship
Wednesday, Feb. 10th @ 5:00pm
