Boy Scouts

Troop 63 was founded in 1963 to bring scouting to boys in the Bethany, Orange, and Woodbridge communities. Chartered by Our Lady of the Assumption Church, Troop 63 quickly became known as the "outdoor troop". Our outings include all types of camping, hiking, backpacking, skiing, canoe trips, and whitewater rafting as well as cultural events such as visits to historical parks, the Museum of Natural History, and the United Nations. We also plan and participate in community service projects each year. We follow the BSA program of "fun with a purpose". This year marks our 40th anniversary of helping boys reach their full potential.

The Boy Scout program is open to all boys ages 11 to 18. We meet September through June on Monday nights 7:00 to 8:30PM at Our Lady of the Assumption Church on Center Road in Woodbridge. Stop by and see what we're all about. For information call John Dwan 389-8886 or click here to visit the Troop website.

Congratulations to three parishioners of OLA and Troop 63!
Christopher Dwan, Andre Zakoworotny and Joseph Walter, all received their eagle scout at a ceremonial celebration at the Grassy Hill Lodge on April 22, 2007. Father Gene Gianelli attended and said the opening prayer. He is smiling in the left hand side of this picture. Also in this picture is Connecticut State House Representative (R) Themis Klarides.

Girl Scouts

The Amity Service Unit has used the parish hall for service unit type events such as Sup n' Sing and Thinking Day. The Service Unit is comprised of several individual troops from Bethany, Orange and Woodbridge. The Girl Scouts also recognize Girl Scout Sabbath and rotate this program between the churches in these communities. In 2001, it was celebrated in Our Lady of the Assumption.
