Scouts

Saint Thomas has been the homebase for Boy Scout Troop 71 for 40 years.  Our boy-led troop enjoys camping and other fun activities and develops skills and confidence.  We also encourage advancement.  Over the years, our troop has helped 36 young men earn the rank of Eagle Scout!  Many have also earned the Ad Altare Dei and Pope Pius XII religious emblems.

For more information, please contact Scout Committee Chair Kevin Murray 439-7806.

A Scout is Reverent. Scouts (Middle School or older) registered with a Scouts America Troop may earn the Catholic Ad Altare Dei religious emblem award.  The program is designed to help encourage Scouts to grow stronger in their Duty to God and be respectful of the Faith and Traditions of others. It is not a substitute for parish faith/discipleship formation programs. It is in addition to and helps Scouts deepen their faith and understanding of what it means to live a faith filled life aligned with the principles of Scouting. Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the emblems to be worn on the official Scout uniform.  There will be an Ad Altare Dei religious emblem program beginning Monday Dec 2nd from 6:15 to 7:30PM hosted by St. Thomas parish in Delmar.  A few meetings will be in-person but most will be via Zoom.
