Did you know that Holy Cross Whitestone once had a thriving Boy Scout Troop? While the original troop closed in 1992, we’re excited to announce a new opportunity to bring Scouting back — and we need your help to make it happen!

​

With the blessing of Fr. Nicholas and the support of the Parish Council, the Eastern Orthodox Committee on Scouting (EOCS) is working to launch a new Scouting unit right here at Holy Cross. We're looking for dedicated adults — both men and women — to step up as leaders and help build a strong foundation for our youth.

​

Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America) is a nationally recognized program for both boys and girls in grades 1 through 12.

​

• Cub Scouts: Grades 1–5

• Scouts BSA: Grades 6–12

​

Local Orthodox parishes like St. Demetrios in Astoria and St. Nicholas in Flushing already run vibrant Scouting programs — and they’re ready to lend a hand in helping us get started.

​

Whether you're a parent interested in enrolling your child, or someone who feels called to lead and inspire the next generation — we want to hear from you!
