Scouting America (formally Boy Scouts of America) is alive and well in the Glacial Trails District (Iron, Ashland, Douglas, Bayfield Counties). We have programs for boys and girls in grades K-5 (Cub Scouts) and Grades 6-12 (Troops).

We are working to establish a Pack in Mellen. As an adult, if you would be interested in leading/supporting this effort as a volunteer, please reach out to Pat Jarvis at (571) 241-9260 or email Patrick.jarvis@scouting.org.

Cub Scouts are at that magical age where everything is new and possible and, most importantly, fun. They build things. Play with purpose. Make friends and work together. The life lessons learned in scouting help form a foundation to embrace opportunity and overcome obstacles in life. Cub Scouting is a year-round program uniquely designed to meet the needs of young boys and girls and their families. The program offers fun and challenging activities that promote character development and physical fitness. Family involvement is an essential part of the program, and parents are encouraged to play an active role. Cub Scouting helps parents make the most of the time they have, to impact the lives of their children.

For any adult (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other relatives of youth) who want to get involved in Scouting we encourage you to volunteer for any of our leadership positions in the Cub Scout Packs, Troops, or at the District level. There are many volunteer positions that can make a difference in a child’s life. This is also an excellent way to give back to the community and to serve youth in our District. You do not have to be related to a youth in the program to get involved.

Families can get involved by calling/texting Mr. Pat Jarvis, Glacial Trails District Executive, at (571) 241-9260 or email Patrick.jarvis@scouting.org. Financial assistance is available to help families in need participate in the program.

The Mellen Rod & Gun Club is looking for girls/boys (no age limit) to sell tickets for the Annual Ice Fishing Contest to be held on Sunday, February 23, 2025 at Lake Galilee. All contestants will receive 10% of their sales. The person that sells the most tickets will receive 10% of their sales, a $ 50.00 gift certificate to any Mellen business of their choice, and will be crowned Ms./Mr. Four Seasons. Anyone interested please call Tanya Haderly at 1-715- 292-3030.

We are excited to share some big news with the community! The Rock Church is becoming Summit South as we join Summit Church (formerly Salem Church) in Ashland as a campus. The Rock has been a part of this wonderful community for many years, and we are deeply grateful for your continued welcome.

As we step into this new chapter, we want to express our heartfelt thanks for welcoming us and allowing us to serve and participate in the community. Moving forward, we’re thrilled to introduce our new leadership team! Our Lead Pastor, Jacob Rahrig, will preach from Summit in Ashland with live-streamed messages shared regularly on Sunday mornings, our campus Pastor Travis Larson will be in Mellen weekly for Wednesday night ministries, Thursday office visits, and Sunday morning services.

We are committed to continuing many of the community traditions The Rock established while eagerly embracing new opportunities to build relationships and participate in this special community. Our goals as a church are to share the love of Christ, and teach God’s word from the Bible.
