Scouting

Wreath sale

Authentic Catholic Leadership Training Since 1960

1960 was the year SJC was founded. It was also the first year of Catholic Scouting at SJC. The first two Eagle Scouts from SJC achieved that rank in 1966. And today, while Scouting is still fun, focuses on and builds character, and creates lasting memories and friendships, it is very much a leadership training ground for our next generations of young men.

If there are boys in the Parish interested in an authentically Catholic fun leadership experience, Scouting is once again resuming weekly activities. If interested, please contact Nick McDonnell at nmcdonnell@yahoo.com  for 1st through 5th grade boys, and John Spitkovsky at john.spitkovsky@mscsinc.com if older.
