Scouting
Boy Scout Troop 389 and Cub Scout Pack 389 meet at Atlantic Christian School on Monday nights. The goal of Scouting is to train youth in responsible citizenship, character development, personal fitness, and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities, educational programs, and community service. Hiking, camping, and rock climbing are a regular part of the Scouting program. Community-service projects have included doing a reenactment of Iwo Jima as part of the Longport Memorial Day parade, serving at a local food pantry to distribute Thanksgiving food baskets, collecting and donating gift boxes to U.S. troops serving overseas, and doing litter clean-up along Zion Road in Egg Harbor Township. The Scouts also expand their knowledge on various topics by inviting guest speakers to their weekly meetings, such as former Egg Harbor Township Mayor Paul Hodson, who spoke on the importance of public service.
The Troop and Pack have participated in the annual Scout Show and have won Best of Show or taken first place more than 10 times. The Scout leadership is focused on encouraging and mentoring the scouts to excel and achieve special distinctions, such as the Arrow of Light and Eagle Scout. Since the establishment of the Cub Scout Pack in 2004 and the Boy Scout Troop in 2005, twenty-two Scouts have earned the rank of Eagle Scout, an 85% achievement rate and the highest of any troop in southern New Jersey. The Scouts who have earned Eagle rank are: Asher Nothaft (2012), Victor Logan IV (2012), Ryan Goukler (2012), Miles Clark (2012), Michael Winder (2012), Christopher Hoffman (2012), Vincent Varallo (2012), Samuel Karabashian (2013), Tyler Newman (2013), Ian Gabrielle (2015), Robert Thomas Dillard (2016), William Cincotti (2016), Brendan Crawford (2017), Matt Sawyer (2017), Bradford Fauntleroy (2017), Matt Dietrich (2021), James Wurzer (2021), Jacob Campsmith (2021), John Wurzer (2021), Joshua Guevara (2022), Hunter Jorgenson (2022), and Cameron Riordan (2024).
