Holy Cross Boy Scout Troop 515
For 27 years, Holy Cross Church has been the home of Boy Scout Troop 515 and for 16 years for Cub Scout Pack 515.
It is estimated that during that period of time over, over 2,000 families in the Garden Grove area have benefited from these character building, citizenship training programs.
.
This page - today - spot lights the Scout Troop.
One of the most notable accomplishments of Holy Cross Troop 515 is that during the past two years, there have been 8 Scouts who were awarded the coveted Eagle Scout award. (See a group picture of our Eagles at the bottom of this page.)
It is said that one 1 boy out of every 500 becomes an Eagle Scout. For our Troop of 50 Scouts to have eight Eagles shows a high degree of dedication and skill on the part of the leaders and unusual support on the part of the parents.
Leadership, qualified, trained and inspired is the key to the success of our Troop.
Our Troop meets every Monday night in the Parish Hall from 7:00 p.m. sharp to 8:30 p.m.
Every meeting is filled with learning experiences that build character and citizenship.
Every meeting has from 10 to 3 Scouts present along with 5 to 10 trained leaders.
For further information on how a boy can join our wonderful Scout Troop, call Hal Cory at 324-9573
Every meeting starts with the Pledge of Allegiance, the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.
The meeting is closed with a prayer.
