Scouts

2/8/2020

 

Padre Serra Parish is proud to charter a Boy Scout Troop and support three Girl Scouts units.

​Boy Scout Troop #257

Our parish charters Troop #257 for boys in grades 6-12. For more information about Boy Scouts in general please visit their website or the Ventura County Council.
​For more information about Boy Scouts, please contact:

​Girl Scouts

​For more information about Girl Scouts, please contact:
Karen Fraser
(805) 216·2235 (cell and text)
fraserclan5@verizon.net
Girl Scouts offers the best leadership development experience for girls in the world - one designed with, by, and for girls. The possibilities in Girl Scouts are unlimited...
  • build confidence and leadership
  • develop character and community service
  • discover the courage to try new things: outdoor adventure, hands-on science, running a business, exploration, etc.
  • grow new friendships
  • discover all you can be and everything you can accomplish when you have the right tools and a safe space to shine - and work together to change the world

​In the greater Camarillo area, there are about 600 girls from Kindergarten to Grade 12 involved in over 50 troops. Each troop has its own meeting times and activities but also participates with other local troops in events (see Micasa Service Unit website at www.micasagirlscouts.com). We are part of the California Central Coast council stretching from Simi Valley through Santa Cruz (www.girlscoutsccc.org ), the national USA organization (www.girlscouts.org ), and the international World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouting (www.wagggs.org ).

This is a wonderful, low-cost parent/daughter activity (yes, dads are girl scouts too!) building memories and results that last a lifetime. Please call or text me; I would love to meet you and discuss the benefits of scouting further.

​Talk About Dating

8/12/2017

 
High school is a time when teenagers begin to think about dating, making communication between teens and their parents even more important.

Consider having an open, honest conversation with your teen about dating and appropriate relationships. Talk about what they want out of a relationship, and what their values are. Make sure they know how to communicate what they feel comfortable with, and what makes them uncomfortable. Talk with them about Catholic morals, and make sure they know you are always available.

To request a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Talking with Your Teen about Dating Safety” email jvienna@laarchdiocese.org

​For specific questions contact brett@padreserra.org

Dear Friends,
We are so blessed to have 40 young people make the choice to go to a Catholic retreat called All for God, Steubenville San Diego on July 28 - 30 2017.

These young people age 17 to 27 are poised for a transformational experience that is authentically Catholic.

The cost is $200 per person for the three day event. If you would like to show your support of our young people please make a donation to Padre Serra Parish, write Youth Retreat in the memo line. We would love to pay a portion of the cost of this experience for this group.

Thank you sincerely, may God bless you for your caring heart.
