Scouts of America
Boy Scouts of America has several units chartered to St. Bernadette. All follow the Scouting program of the Boy Scouts of America with community service, outdoor activities, systematic advancement, and leadership development to prepare young people to make ethical choices throughout life by learning to live by the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
Scouts BSA units are gender specific with individual programs. At times they work together on projects, special events, and other events as determined by the Patrol Leaders Councils of each unit. Both units camp monthly, hold weekly meetings throughout the year, and provide service to both St. Bernadette as well as the larger community in a variety of ways. Each unit plans their yearly calendar along with providing youth leadership training.
Scouts BSA Troop 975 (boys from 11-17)
The unit currently has over 40 members supported by unit leaders and many parents serving in a variety of ways. The troop is led by Allison Martinazzi, Committee Chair, and Ben Eloff, Scoutmaster
