Troops of Saint George

Attention young men ages 6-18 and their fathers/guardians! Are you looking for a challenge? The Troops of Saint George is an apostolate where we journey and grow in the Catholic faith through outdoor adventure, skills development, catechesis & parish service. Contact Captain Tim Bettcher at 252-617-3778 or tbettcher@msn.com if you are interested or have any questions.

"The Troops of Saint George apostolate aims to use the outdoors as our canvas and the sacraments as our path to light the way for the formation of Holy Catholic men and boys. Whether called to the vocation of the priesthood, the religious life, or that of Holy fatherhood, our fathers and sons will take a prayerful pilgrimage together to fulfill Christ's desire for them to grow in virtue and in their Holy Catholic faith as they journey toward heaven."

Why are we Troop 1821? That was the year Saint Paul was founded. Our troop was founded in 2021, during our parish bicentennial year.

Virtue

TSG fosters an environment for men and boys to grow in virtue while staying true to the teachings of the magisterium of the Catholic Church. TSG fosters a love for the priesthood and a reverence for the sacrament of Matrimony.

Camping

Tent camping trips and outdoor weekend activities throughout the year.

Parati Semper

The motto of the Troops of Saint George is "Parati Semper" which also comes from Saint Peter, our first Pope:

But sanctify the Lord Christ in your hearts, being prepared always (part temper) to satisfy every one that sketch you a reason of that hope which is in you. (1 Peter 3:15)

Teach & Learn

Teach your son, and learn with him outdoorsmanship & survival skills.

Mass & Prayer

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass celebrated outdoors. Pray the Rosary with your brothers in Christ around the campfire.
