Boy Scouts/Cub Scouts
Boy Scouts of America is a nationally recognized organization which teaches leadership and life skills while encouraging good citizenship, character and fitness. ICC sponsors Boy Scout Troop 193 for boys who are 11 - 18 years old.
Troop 193 meets weekly on Tuesday evenings in the gymnasium in the Parish Center. Monthly camping trips and a week together at Scout Camp in August are highlighted. Scouts are given the opportunity to structure their own activities and make lasting friendships with like-minded people in their own generation. For more information, please contact the Scout master.
Cub Scout Pak 193 is for boys ages 6-11 (grades 1-5). The Cub Pack meets one Friday each month in the gymnasium in the Parish Center. Weekly Den Meetings take place at the homes of individual Den Leaders. Cub Scouts teaches teamwork and fair play through the use of fun activities and community service projects. For more information, contact the Cub master or the Committee Chairman.
We welcome boys to join the Scouts as well as men and women who would like to volunteer to be Den Leaders.
Religious Education
Formal religious instruction of children begins with our First Grade Program and progresses through receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation in Grade 10. Students in grades one through six meet on Sunday morning in two sessions: Parents choose one of the two sessions for their child to attend. Students in grades seven through ten meet at scheduled times on Sunday afternoons or evenings. Teachers prepare each week's lesson using the teachers guide to the corresponding workbook the children receive.
Volunteers are needed and welcome to teach at all sessions, and for all grade levels. It is not required for you to have a child in the program in order to teach. Volunteer positions are also available for those willing to substitute teach on an “on-call” basis, to cover when someone is unable to teach a class. Traffic volunteers are needed for both morning sessions to help direct traffic during pick-up times to ensure safety for the children. We welcome volunteers for any aspect of the Religious Education Program
