Cub/Boy Scouts Print

Resurrection Cub Scout Pack 585 and Boy Scout Troop 585 are affiliated with the national Boy Scout program and the local Quivira Council. Our parish pack currently provides activities for boys in 1st-5th grades, while the troop is for boys 6th grade and older - up to age 18. The entire pack meets normally on the fourth Monday of the month and smaller groups called "dens" meet on two other Mondays during the month.

The Boy Scout troop is more of a "boy run" organization which meets weekly and goes camping every one or two months. The goal of Scouting is "Youth With a Purpose” and we try to have fun while accomplishing this. The leaders believe that "if we don’t have time to help youngsters find the right way in life, somebody with more time will help them find the wrong way." Additionally, we participate each year in the Diocesan Religious Emblems program.

Challenge Girls Club Print

Challenge is a Catholic club for girls ages fifth grade through high school age.  Through this club, girls grow in virtue, friendship, and their Catholic faith.  It’s a place for girls to learn about themselves by doing apostolic projects and creating a positive impact on family, friends, and the world.

Our meetings are held twice a month, in Stewardship Hall,  during the school year on Fridays from 3:30 – 5:00.  We also participate in other apostolic and social activities throughout the school year.

The mission of Challenge is to evangelize and transform today’s young girls to give their very best to others so that Christian culture will prevail in the hearts of everyone they meet. (M,H)

Middle School Youth Group Print
This group offers monthly activities which center around spiritual and personal growth for sixth through eighth graders in the parish. Subjects dealing with faith, family, peers, values and other pressing issues are introduced through games and social activities which appeal to the youth during this unique time of personal development. The ultimate goal is to bring the youth to full participation in the life, mission and work of the Church community. Adult advisors or leaders are needed to assist in planning and supervising youth activities.
