volunteers from parents to parishoners.

Cub Scouts Pack 650
Since 1930, the Boy Scouts of America has helped younger boys through Cub Scouting. It is a year-round family program designed for boys who are in the first grade through fifth grade (or 7, 8, 9, and 10 years of age). Parents, leaders, and organizations work together to achieve the purposes of Cub Scouting. Currently, Cub Scouting is the largest of the BSA's three membership divisions.
Brownies
In Girl Scouts, girls discover the fun, friendship, and power of girls together. The Girl Scout program includes a myriad of enriching experiences, including field trips, sports skill-building clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardships.
Our unique experiences allow girls to grow courageous and strong by helping them:
- Develop their full individual potential
- Relate to others with increasing understanding, skill, and respect
- Develop values to guide their actions and provide the foundation for sound decision making
- Contribute to the improvement of society through their abilities, leadership skills, and cooperation with others
