The 12-Points Bike Ride lets Scout youth and their families learn more about the meaning of Scout law while gaining a deeper appreciation of different religious faiths. The Ride is open to all Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Venture Crews, and their families.

A minimum of 2 leaders per unit are required. Youth and adults must have their own bikes with gears, proper fitting helmets and bike locks. All Scouts and Scouters must wear a Class “A“ or ”B“ uniform.

At each stop, a member of the Clergy will discuss one of the 12 points of Scout law, describe the basic theological tenets of their religion, and point out interesting architectural and historical aspects of their House of Worship. The ride will end with a picnic dinner. 

The following Houses of Worship will be visited:

Judaism
New Church
Hindu*
Roman Catholic
Presbyterian
Quaker
Episcopal
Lutheran
Christian Scientist
Islam
Greek Orthodox
Sikh**

* = This will be a discussion held at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts in Shadyside due to the fact that it is not possible to ride to the Hindu Temple.

** = This will be a discussion held prior to the Picnic Dinner in Schenley Park due to the fact that it is not possible to ride to the Gurdwara.

FREE SAFETY INSPECTION Tuesday 5/27 – Thursday 5/29 for Ride participants! Pittsburgh Pro Bicycles - CALL 412-567-4936 for more information. No safety inspections the day of the ride.
