Troop 242 Scouts were able to help the Knights of Columbus in their 10-mile Run for the Heart on February 6th. We handed out drinks to the runners at Yorktown battle field. Thanks to everybody that participated.

The anniversary of Scouting in America is February 8. The Sunday of or before the 8th is usually Scout Sunday. Because a scout is reverent, all faith denominations with a scout presence are encouraged to celebrate Scout Sunday. This event brings all types of scouts together- Scouts BSA, Sea Scouts, Venture Crew, Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts. Scout Sunday is a formal gathering so scouts dress in their full Field Uniform with neckerchief and merit badge sash.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church is Troop 242’s charter organization. Scouts, scouters and families gathered for the 5:00 pm Vigil Mass on Saturday, February 6. Scouts served as ushers and altar servers and Cub Scouts from Pack 242 were greeters and offertory collectors. After the Mass, Troop 242 showed their support for the Cub Scouts who were awarded their Religious Emblems.
No matter your denomination, Scout Sunday is an opportunity to gather with other scouts, practice your faith, and celebrate Scouting in America.
