Scouting
Welcome!
Welcome to another exciting Scouting year (2025-26) at St. Aloysius! Our Scouting program continues to grow and we enthusiastically encourage parish families with young children (both boys and girls) to check out what our Program and Scouting America is all about. Thank you Bishop Caggiano, Msgr. Rob, Bob Mantilia, Chris Otis and numerous members of the St. Aloysius staff, parish groups, ministries and community for your ongoing partnership and support. Scouting America’s mission 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; and 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.
Yours in Scouting,
Steve Prostor
Committee Chair
