The Scout programs chartered by the local Boy Scout council  help prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. The Scout Oath emphasizes duty to God and the need to remain “morally straight,” while the Scout Law includes a pledge to be reverent. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, outdoor skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. It builds leaders of strong character and high morals who give their religious faith a central role in their lives.

Cub Scout Pack 280 is open to boys age 6-12 years old or Kindergarten through fifth grade. Pack 280 meets on Tuesday evenings once a month at St. Martin de Porres Parish Hall. 

Boy Scout Troop 280 is for boys who have completed the fifth grade or who are 11, but not yet 18 years old. Troop 280 meets on Monday evenings at St. Martin de Porres Parish Hall.
