The Troops of Saint George have some great news!

The Troops of Saint George (TSG) have reformed and officially filed for 501c3 non-profit status with the United States. In this post, I’m going to tell you how to get involved with our growing outdoors movement for fathers and boys.

The timing of this new phase is noteworthy because today (Oct 21) marks the 915th anniversary of the apparition of Saint George to the knights of the First Crusade outside the walls of Antioch on Oct 21, 1098:

Siege of Antioch in 1098 – St George appeared and encouraged the Crusaders to keep fighting.

Legal Problems

In early September, the lawyers of the Boy Scouts of America sent us a ‘cease and desist’ letter regarding the use of the word “Scout,” as well as our proposed uniforms and literature.

It was never our intention to challenge or confuse others about the brand or identity of the Boy Scouts of America. We are a separate organization with an entirely different mission, style, purpose, and identity. Honestly, we do not want to be confused with them.

We want to clearly define our own separate identity since our values and goals are much different from those of the BSA. Therefore, the Board of Directors have legally reformed the organization as the Troops of Saint George.

Who are the Troops of Saint George?

We are a Catholic apostolate for Catholic men and their sons. We are Catholic first above all else. Our campouts feature the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Rosary, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, the sacrament of Confession, and time-honored Catholic devotions.

We are not interested in arts and crafts or meetings for the sake of meetings. (Read this to see if the TSG may not be the right fit for you.) Rather, we’re interested in meeting the challenges of being a godly and Christian man for our wives, children, grandchildren, and culture. We want our sons to become true men infused with virtue, decisiveness, and integrity.

We recognize that Christian manhood based on the the classical understanding of virtue is under attack. Those who think that American culture is healthy will probably not be attracted to our movement. We are interested in rising to the challenge of Blessed John Paul II: to become signs of contradiction in our increasingly post-Christian culture.

The Troops of Saint George have troops all over the United Sates and more forming all over the world, including the following 13 nations:

1. Australia
2. Italy
3. Philippines
4. United Arab Emirates
5. United Kingdom

OK, but do you teach the lads just what that cross means, meant, and was used for? It was to purge the mooselimbs from the lands considered Christian, but became a bloodthirst and ended in failure having accomplished none of its real objectives. It left many lands with a hatred of Christianity for its brutality and killings. It ended with their banishment and murders and they ceased to exist.

One of the primary motivations for Dr. Taylor Marshall founding this new organization for boys, was the fact that the "Boy Scouts of America" were officially changing their long-standing policies to not only allow openly active homosexuals to join the "Boy Scouts" and become scouts, but to also allow openly active homosexuals to be scoutmasters in the "Boy Scouts of America", as unbelievable as that sounds.

(NOTE: The fact that the founder of the "Boy Scouts of America", William Boyce, was a Protestant/Presbyterian, is totally irrelevant.)

Where is a catholic hater? I’m as catholic as they come!
