Boys and girls recognized

The Girl Scouts of Hudson Highlands and the Philipstown Boy Scouts celebrated Scout Sunday on Sunday, March 6, at Our Lady of Loretto in Cold Spring. The scouts attended the 8:30 a.m. mass, after which they and the congregation enjoyed refreshments provided by the Girl Scouts in the parish hall.

Two Cub Scouts from Philipstown Pack 137 earned the Light of Christ religious emblem, which was presented by Scout Leader Tom Campanile. This award recognizes the duty to God in the Boy Scout oath and is awarded by the parish to Cub Scouts who complete the requirements of study and service for the emblem.
