Boy Scout Troop 399 Participated in Scout Sunday

On Sunday, February 8, North Babylon’s Troop 399’s leaders, boy scouts and their families participated in a special service to celebrate Scout Sunday at St. Paul’s Reformed Church in North Babylon.  Members of North Babylon Lions Club, the troop’s chartered organization, were also in attendance as well as cub scouts and girl scouts.

This year’s Scout Sunday was extra special because it was held on February 8th, the Boy Scouts of America’s birthday.  On Scout Sunday, uniformed Scouts and Scouters across the country greeted the congregation, participated in worship services, received religious awards and conducted service projects to benefit their place of worship.

St. Paul’s Reformed Church has been a great supporter of North Babylon’s Troop 399 and we were honored to celebrate with their congregation.  Pastor Conrad Strauch gave a moving and touching sermon.  He also presented the Parvuli Dei religious award to a deserving young man, Troop 399’s newest Boy Scout James White.  Following the services, the parishioners hosted a breakfast with an array of scrumptious food.

Boy Scout Troop 399 meetings are held each Thursday evening that schools are open at 7:30 pm in the Marion G. Vedder Elementary School cafeteria.  For more information you may visit Troop 399’s website at http://northbabylon399.mytroop.us/.  Troop 399 is a Boy Scout Troop based in North Babylon, NY.  Troop 399 is a member of the Sagtikos District of BSA’s Suffolk County Council.  It is sponsored by the North Babylon Lions Club.  Originally chartered in 1975, Troop 399 has been serving the community, turning boys into leaders and giving families the opportunity to participate in Scouting over 40 years.
