What a blessing to have our own Chaplain Chip Turner blaze the trail for so much work to be accomplished at Philmont. From the Protestant Chapel in base camp along with PTC, to the back country: Ponil, Cimarroncito, Miners Park, Beaubien, and a brand new chapel space at Indian Writings. Also, one of team helped Sandy Turner to pack the Chaplain boxes that go to each and every back country camp. They completed the work in one day!! Our ABS team was one of the best. Many thanks to all who made this such a joy in our reasonable service to God!!
Baptists in Scouting:
Reaching, Teaching, and Ministering to Families
Offered by the Association of Baptists for Scouting, this conference introduces participants to Baptist Scouting Ministry as an effective fulfillment of the Great Commission and as a tool for Christian education through the religious emblems program.
Class participants will become better equipped to start effective Baptist Scouting Ministries and to strengthen existing ones. In addition, they will experience proven methods of reaching individuals and entire families for Christ, deepening their spiritual lives, and contributing to church growth. In addition, class members will learn more about the importance of effectively representing unique Baptist thought and conviction in the larger Scouting community and about the ministries of the Association of Baptists for Scouting.
This conference is recommended for Baptist Scouters and others serving in units chartered by Baptist Churches, as well as Baptist ministers.
The highlight for many who attend this course are the practical applications for implementing Duty to God into their local Scouting context.
This includes:
