2004 Ad Altare Dei


Ad Altare Dei is the Catholic religious award for Boy Scouts. It is designed for Scouts in the seventh grade or above and takes several months to complete. We plan to begin the program sometime in 2004. Any Scout who will be in the seventh grade or higher in the fall of 2004 will be eligible to participate. Mr. and Mrs. Ruhe and Mr. and Mrs. Kathman have volunteered to lead the program. If you are interested having your son participate, please let us know.

Other Opportunities

As busy as we are in Troop 850, there are other Scouting opportunities available which are described in the enclosed literature. This includes individual treks to the Philmont Scout Ranch every summer, and the National Jamboree which only happens every four years. If you have any interest, please let us know.
 

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
