Boy Scouts |
Our Lady of Good Help Church sponsors two Scouting programs for boys.
Cub Scouting is for boys in first through fifth grades.
Boy Scouting is for boys aged 11 through 17.
The scout program offers programs for each age group, but boys
can join at any time. A boy does
not have to be a Tiger Cub to join Cub Scouts.
A boy does not have to be in Cub Scouting to join the Boy Scouts.
A program for boys 11 through 17 designed to achieve the aims of Scouting through a vigorous outdoor program and peer group leadership with the counsel of an adult Scoutmaster. Boys also may become Boy Scouts if they have completed the fifth grade. Our Boy Scout troop is Troop 102, Mapleville. The Troop meets on Wednesday nights at 7:00 PM in the church hall. Monthly outdoor activities include camping, canoeing, mountain climbing, backpacking, biking, trail conservation and hiking. Summer camp and a high adventure program for older boys are parts of the program.
Contact Scoutmaster Bill Bowser 567-0275 or OLGH Representative Paul Benoit 568-2669.
