Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.

Message from the Troop Committee

Posted on Jan 18 2012 - 4:30pm

Scouts & Parents,

During the last Court of Honor, a bulletin board was damaged in the back hallway.
Why I do not believe this was neither a deliberate action nor an action from any of our Scouts, it provides me the opportunity to remind everyone about the church “Safe Sanctuary” policy. I want everyone to take a minute and review this from our by laws and remember the use of the church for scouting activities is a privilege, not a right.
