How is Troop 139 involved with the Methodist Church?
The South Pasadena United Methodist Church (SPUMC) graciously makes their facilities available to Troop 139 as our Chartered Organization (sponsoring organization). Only a few Scouts in Troop 139 have ever been affiliated with the SPUMC. The Boy Scouts of America holds to a non-sectarian Declaration of Religious Principle as a condition of membership in Boy Scouts. Over the years, our membership rolls have included Scouts who are: Buddhist, Catholic, Jewish, and from various Protestant denominations, as well as Scouts with no formal religious ties. We do service projects for the SPUMC as a way of giving back for the free use of the facilities. The Troop typically participates in the annual Scout Sunday.
