Our Mission is to prepare young men to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Boy Scout Troop 375

Since its inception, OLMM Parish has proudly sponsored Boy Scout Troop 375 and the Scouts have been an active fixture in Parish life ever since then. While hiking and camping are indeed an integral part of Scouting, its main purpose is best explained in the Scout Mission Statement, the Scout Oath, and the Scout Law:   
 

BSA Mission Statement

The mission of the Boy Scouts of America 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.

Scout Oath

On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout Law

A Scout is: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.

Interesting Facts

Our Scouts serve the parish as Altar Servers. They also help the Ushers on special occasions. They help decorate our Church for the holidays. The Scouts participate in an annual Catholic Scout retreat program.

Accomplishments

More than 50% of our Scouts earn the highest rank, the rank of Eagle Scout (to put this in perspective, the national average is less than 5%). Almost 80% of our Scouts earn at least one of the two Catholic Faith awards (nationally, the average is less than 4%).

Our Troop invites and welcomes all boys 11 years of age and older to join. Interested parents should contact Scoutmaster Stephen Legaspi
