Scouting
Epworth is proud to sponsor the following Scouting programs
Cub Scouts
Every Tuesday evening, Epworth is bustling with activity as Cub Scout Pack 290 gathers for its weekly den meetings and monthly pack meeting (3rd Tuesday). Tigers, Wolves, Bears and Webelos, under the guidance of some terrific leaders, work to attain various achievements and badges. The pack organizes several campouts during the year and plans an exciting activity every month for all the Dens to attend.

Troop 16 was chartered in 1997, and is under the leadership of Scoutmaster Mr. Richard Cole. Click here for the Troop 16 web site.
