Scouting at Blessed Sacrament

BOY SCOUTS

Boy Scout Troop 90 Wants You!!
Join the Adventure!

All boys 11 years old and up or having graduated 5th grade are invited to join the Shrine of Most Blessed Sacrament’s Boy Scout Troop 90! 

Scouting gives young people the opportunity to explore a world beyond the boundaries of everyday life. They get to try new things, develop friendships, provide service to others, build self-confidence, and develop leadership skills. And have fun while doing it!  After a year of zoom meetings, this past summer Troop 90 scouts camped at Goshen Scout Camp Reservation -- staffed by Eagle Scouts from Blessed Sacrament – and canoed and camped in the Boundary Waters, Minnesota for Northern Tier High Adventure.  Some other activities include: 

• Earning first aid, emergency preparedness, wilderness survival, citizenship in the community, and many other merit badges
• Earning religious emblems through Ad Altare Dei and Pope Pius XII
• Serving the community through the Greg Gannon Food Drive and other service projects
• Rock Climbing at Seneca Rocks, WV  
• Camping at Antietam National Battlefield
• Backpacking in Philmont Scout Ranch, New Mexico
• Scuba Diving in St. Croix Sea Base, VI
• Skiing/snowboarding at Wisp and Snowshoe

We are pleased to resume in-person troop meetings Wednesday nights from 7:30-8:30 pm in the Blessed Sacrament Parish Center -- with hikes, monthly campouts, and other outdoor activities. We will follow CDC safety guidelines and protocols. Our first meeting of the year will be Wednesday night, September 8th, 2021 and our first campout will be September 25-27. Please come and check it out. No obligation. No scouting experience necessary. 
Come join the adventure – where the best part of reaching your goal is the journey!

CUB SCOUTS PACK 90

Calling all 1st-5th grade boys!

Cub Scout Pack 90, right here at Blessed Sacrament, is one of the oldest Cub Scout Packs in the city with a long history of connection and service to the Blessed Sacrament parish and neighboring communities. Although Scout activities were a bit confined last year with pandemic protocols, we’re planning a robust calendar of events for the 2021-2022 school year and are focused on growing the number of boys who would like to be a part of the Pack where they learn about leadership, citizenship, teamwork, and sportsmanship skills.  
 
Our first meeting of the year will be on Friday, September 17th, 2021 at 7:00 PM in the BSS Auditorium and is open to all boys and families interested in joining or just learning more about Scouting with Pack 90.  Please feel free to contact Bryan Knowles at BMDKnowles@gmail.com with any questions you may have.  

GIRL SCOUT COUNCIL

Girls interested in making new friends, serving others and trying new things - from nature and camping, to arts and crafts, to making brown-bag lunches for the homeless - are invited to join the Blessed Sacrament Girl Scout program.  Scouting builds confidence, leadership and self-esteem by encouraging girls to learn to do things for themselves and to master new skills.  Parent participation is expected.
