Scouts

Scouting is a fun and effective way to help Catholic youths to do their duty to God and to their country. Scouting builds character and teaches devotion to God in an environment that provides wholesome fun under the guidance of strong adult role models. The scouting programs provide a wonderful channel to involve youth in the life of Catholic parishes.

Young people experience Scouting as a growth into personal maturity and social responsibility. They learn to assume their role in life with a high degree of commitment, and to care for others who are less fortunate. They develop a strong desire to build a culture of goodwill, respect for the environment, and acceptance of duties. Scouts also take part in Masses and help with service towards our parish.

The mission of BSA Troop 82 is to "prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law." For more information about Troop 82 or if interested in joining, please contact Scoutmaster John Papp at [email protected].

Cub Scouts provides "fun, hands-on learning and achievement that puts kids in the middle of the action and prepares them for today – and for life."

"Almighty God, bless these young people who have committed themselves to the pursuit of Scouting. Allow their minds to be broadened, their hopes to be raised, and their futures filled with promise as they grow in knowledge and wisdom through Scouting. As they learn more about You and Your ways, may they be inspired to reach out in service to all in need as they strive to become disciples in our world today. May all their efforts guide each of them to know, to love, and to serve You now and throughout their lives. We ask this blessing through Jesus Christ, our risen Lord and Savior. Amen."
