St. John Bosco’s new Boy Scout unit, Troop 423, is off the ground with Gregory Schmidt, John Plunkett (son of Knight Emil Plunkett) and Kyle Hassett (son of Knight Bill Hassett).  Fellow Knights Gerry Hrastar (DGK), Zac White and Joseph Haydu will help with the leadership of this new unit.  A special thanks to KofC Council 9002 for adding an important funding source to our Cub and Boy Scout programs.

Notice the common theme of Knights and Scouting?  These boys are learning about service to God, country, community and family—themes that will make them good Knights one day.  I read recently that men today are contributing 43% less time to clubs and organizations than they did a generation ago.  It is important that we instill in boys and young men the need and desire to serve their communities. 
 

Character is built incrementally over a long time.  Please continue to support Scouting, to develop the future of our council.  Thank you!”    Todd White
