Boy Scouts is a program for boys aged 11 - 17. If your son is between the ages of 7 to 10 and interested in Scouting, he is eligible to join a Cub Scout Pack. Here is the website for the Cub Scout program at St. Catherine's, for your convenience: http://www.pack422.org
You must log in to the site to see most of the content. This helps create a more secure environment for everyone and a more organized and streamlined system for communication.

We now have some items in the Scout Closet trunk and Carey Surrency will be bringing it to the next few meetings. Please bring any BSA uniform items in good condition (clean and without stains or holes) to exchange for a new-to-you item. If you do not have anything to exchange you can purchase items for $5 each. Please bring exact payment as I will not have change. I look forward to helping our scouts get some great deals on great items!

In order to ask for your prayers and to reduce the number of rumors, Don Snyder would like his Scouting Family to know that he has Prostate Cancer. He will be going in for robotics surgery on February 4th. Therefore, he will not be around for a few weeks. The doctors are hopeful that they can address the issue through this procedure. Thank you for your prayers!
