Members of Spring Woods UMC serve in leadership positions in several Scout units throughout the Spring-Klein area and across the greater Houston community. We also have leaders from the community who serve Scouting here at Spring Woods. Core to this ministry is the congregation’s support of Scouting as a means of serving the children and youth in our community. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.
Girl Scouts
Girl Scouts involve girls from Kindergarten through high school. Many members of our church family lead troops in their neighborhood, extending the influence of our church community. Several girls are beginning work on the Gold Award, the highest honor in Girl Scouting.
Cub Scouts
Pack 900 involves boys from first through fifth grade. Many of our boys are from Pat Reynolds Elementary in the Spring ISD. Dens of each age group meet monthly, many here at the church. The pack meets monthly in the Great Hall. The Cubmaster is Javier Garcia and the committee chair is Ric Ibarra. Spring Woods has chartered Pack 900 since 1998.
Boy Scouts
Troop 900 serves boys from age 11 through 17. These Scouts come from both the Spring and Klein ISD areas. The troop meets every Monday night in the Parlor and camps monthly. The Scoutmaster is Mike Sondergaard and Amy Taylor is the committee chair. Spring Woods has chartered Troop 900 since 1963.
Venturing Crew 900
Venturing
Crew 900 is a co-ed program led by youth in high school and early college (ages 14-20). With support from adult leadership, the crew actually plans and implements their program. In 2007, the crew completed scuba certification. Several crew members, along with parents, did a scuba cruise to Cozumel and the Yucatan. Crew members worked many money earning projects to fund the trip. The crew cheerfully supports other Scout groups and staffs many Scouting activities such as Scout Fair, the Polaris District Dinner, and the Pack 900 Blue & Gold Banquet. The crew president is Shalee Wallace and the crew advisor is Brent Fruzia. Mary Fruzia serves as the committee chair. Spring Woods has chartered Crew 900 since 2004.
