Helping Others: By cultivating a servant's heart to help those in need to show God's love to all
Holy Cross is the Chartering Organization for Venturing Crew 1199, Boy Scout Troop 1199 and Cub Packs 1199 and Pack 1700. Holy Cross plays a role in reaching out into the community and supporting over 250 boys each year that are involved with the Scouting program. The church ensures proper leadership, provides a place to meet if needed, and supports the leaders as appropriate to ensure a successful program.
Holy Cross is honored to have the Venturers, Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts in our church family. All of these units are strong, growing, and have outstanding adult leadership, boys and programming.
