SCOUT SUNDAY AT SACRED HEART CHURCH

Calling on all Cub, Boy and Girl Scouts to join Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, Milford, celebrating Scout Sunday on February 5, 2012, at the 10:30 a.m. Mass.

All scouts and scouters are invited to participate and to join in the procession in uniform. Scouts and their leaders should gather in the chapel (lower church) by 10:00 a.m.Boy Scout Troop 2, chartered by Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, cordially invites all scouts and scouters and their families who participate in Scout Sunday to join them in the Chapel Room for light refreshments immediately following the Mass.

The Boy Scouts of America celebrate annually in the month of February the Anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scout program by Lord Baden Powell in England. Scout Sunday was added to the scout celebration around the mid-1940s. The Saturday following February 8th is Scout Sabbath.The Scout Sunday tradition was started to make people in church aware of Scouting, and to allow Scouts to live out parts of what they pledge each week. The Scout Law says that a "Scout is Reverent" and the Scouts of all ages promise to do their "Duty to God". These values strengthen youth character in their family, community and faith. All scouts and their families are welcome to participate in Scout Sunday on February 5th.
