Frequently Asked
What families usually want to know
Do we need to attend Epiphany of Our Lord to join TSG #51?
No — TSG #51 is a ministry open to Catholic fathers and sons.
Do fathers participate?
Yes. Fathers are not spectators. They pray, work, camp, teach, and grow alongside their sons.
Does my son need camping experience?
No. A family does not need outdoor experience to begin. Boys learn by doing, and new families are welcomed into that rhythm.
What should we wear and bring?
Keep it simple and practical: weather-appropriate clothes, water, and a readiness to spend time outdoors or in formation. The troop can share any event-specific notes before you arrive.
How do we visit for the first time?
Use the contact page, introduce your family, and ask which upcoming gathering is the best fit for a first visit. You should receive clear arrival details before you come.
