"Some

of the boys were hesitant going room to room, but after seeing the smiles

and how grateful the people were, the scouts with sisters, moms and dads

continues to spread holiday cheer."

In the spring,

Pack 42 held a bicycle rodeo with the help of the police and sheriff Departments

and even was able to hand out bicycle helmets.

The pack and

Boy Scout troop both meet on Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. after the mass

and the Wednesday night dinner.

St. George

welcomes all boys interested in joining either Pack 42 or Troop 242.

"The boys

do not have to be Catholic to join, but are encouraged to earn the religious

emblem of their faith," says Lettis.

The first Round

up for the season was held at the White Oak Elementary School, where Cubmaster

Dan Wise welcomed over 66 new cub scouts and 7 new volunteers.

"You do

not have to be a den leader to volunteer, there are other positions which

always need filling, as well as assisting other leaders when help is needed.

We are doing this for the boys!" Lettis states.
