Boy Scouts of America

The Boy Scouts strive to develop American citizens who are physically, mentally and emotionally fit, have a high degree of self-reliance, and possess qualities such as initiative, courage, resourcefulness and reverence. Boy Scouts are encouraged to have personal values based on religious concepts, a desire and the skills to help others, and understand the principles of the American social, economic and governmental systems.

Boy Scouts are trained to take pride in their American heritage and understand our nation’s role in the world. Also, Scouts develop a keen respect for the basic rights of all people and are prepared to participate in and give leadership to American society. Additionally, Christ the Redeemer Troop 573’s service projects align with the Corporal Works of Mercy.

Families of all faith traditions are welcomed. As a BSA troop chartered to a Catholic Church, Christ the Redeemer’s Boy Scout Troop 573 follows additional guidance from the National Catholic Committee on Scouting (NCCS) and the Archdiocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting (ACCS). The NCCS and ACCS are church committees made up of concerned Catholic laypeople and clergy who see as their mission the constructive use of the program of the Boy Scouts of America as a viable form of youth ministry with the Catholic youth of our nation.

The troop meets from 7-8:30 p.m. every Tuesday in the Parish Hall or the Community Center. For more information, contact Scoutmaster Joel Docog at bobwhitejoel@gmail.com.
