BOY SCOUTS

 

Boy Scout Troop 844, sponsored by St. Angela Merici Church, provides boys aged 10- 18 with opportunities to camp, volunteer, and learn. Our Scouts learn a multitude of outdoor skills and life skills, practice leadership, and develop confidence and self-reliance. Our Scouts have camped on Catalina, in Wyoming and even at the 2005 National Boy Scout Jamboree in Virginia.

Designated a National Quality Unit every year since at least 1999, Troop 811's Scouts also contribute to St. Angela Merici and the community. They regularly serve at Lenten Fish Fries and help out at Summerfest. They decorate hundres of veteran's grave at Memory Garden Memorial park. A key measure of a quality Scouting program is the number of boys who choose to remain in the program beyon the first year or two. Since 2001, Troop 811 has had 21 boys achieve the rank of Eagle scout- the highest rank a Scout can obtain.

Recent Eagle projects include creation of a prayer garden, major landscaping, fencing, the message board in the parish plaza and $5000 worth of lighting improvements for the school. We are thankful to our parish for its continued support of Troop 811.
