Boy Scouts
-
Scouting is an 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.
Additional information regarding the Boy Scout program can be gotten by calling Rich Donovan at the Office of Youth & Young Adult Ministry. Rich's phone number is 201-998-0088, ext 4150 or via email at donovari@rcan.org
