Scouting

Welcome!
Welcome to another exciting Scouting year (2026-27) at St. Aloysius!  We are excited to announce that the Scouting Program is moving back to campus with the completion of the St. Aloysius Parish Education and Faith Center (2nd floor Scout Room and gymnasium).  Our Troop was proud to support this once in a generation investment in our community.

Scouting at St. Aloysius 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 (formerly Boy Scouts of America) are all about.  Thank you, Bishop Caggiano, Msgr. Rob, Chris Otis, Bob Mantilia and numerous members of the St. Aloysius staff, parish groups, ministries and community for your ongoing partnership and support.

Scouting America
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; 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
