Newly elected Primate of the Orthodox Church in America, Archbishop Herman visiting the Eastern Orthodox Committee on Scouting’s display booth at St. Vladimir’s Alumni Day in Crestwood, New York.  His Eminence discussed with National Chairman of the EOCS, George N. Boulukos, the importance and benefits that Scouting offers our Orthodox Christian Youth.

During the visit, Archbishop Herman reminisced about the EOCS Retreat several years ago, where 306 Scouts from throughout the Northeast camped in his back yard at Saint Tikhon’s Seminary.  Since he will divide his time between the OCA Headquarters in Syosset, New York and Saint Tikhon’s in South Canaan, Pennsylvania he offered to host another Scout Retreat at Saint Tikhon’s Seminary in the near future.
