St. Joseph Boy Scout Troop 103

Hanover, PA

The mission of the Boy Scouts is to prepare young men to make ethical and moral choices throughout their lives by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. Scouting gives boys from all walks of life the chance to develop their potential, make friends, and become vital members of their community by upholding the ideals stated in the Boy Scout Oath. This volunteer organization is open to all boys ages 11 through 17. Additional leaders are always welcome.

The Girl Scout troops at St. Joseph Parish are part of a worldwide organization that builds members' leadership skills through personal development. Girls are provided opportunities to explore new interests, develop skills, and interact with others. They develop an attitude of good citizenship and recognize the importance and benefits of service to others. Girls from K through grade 12 meet once a week in age appropriate groups from September through April.

Members of the leadership are responsible for planning and directing the weekly meetings of girls. Additional leaders are needed for the leadership team that provides adults with opportunities to build a stronger bond with their own children, as well as providing a positive influence to other children who are the future of our parish community.
