Holy Cross Boy Scout Troop 515

For over 30 years, Holy Cross Church  has been the home of both Boy Scout Troop 515 and  Cub Scout Pack 515.

It is estimated that during that period of time over, over 2,000 families in the Garden Grove area have benefited from these character building, citizenship training programs.

This page - today - spot lights the Scout Troop.

One of the most notable accomplishments of Holy Cross Troop 515 is that during the past four years, there have been 10 Scouts who were awarded the coveted Eagle Scout award.  (See a group picture of some of our Eagles at the bottom of this page.)

It is said that one 1 boy out of every 500 becomes an Eagle Scout. For our Troop of 50 Scouts to have eight Eagles shows a high degree of dedication and skill on the part of the leaders and unusual support on the part of the parents.

During the past 2 years, 14 Cub Scouts and 7 Boy Scouts received the highly coveted God and Country award. Never before has Holy Cross had even a single God and Country award.


Leadership, qualified, trained and inspired is the key to the success of our Troop.

Our Troop meets every Monday night in the Parish Hall from 7:00 p.m. sharp to 8:30 p.m.

Every meeting is filled with learning experiences that build character and citizenship.

Every meeting has from 10 to 30 Scouts present along with 5 to 10 trained leaders.

For further information on how a boy can join our wonderful Scout Troop, call Hal Cory at 324-9573
Every meeting starts with the Pledge of Allegiance, the Scout Oath and the Scout Law.

The meeting is closed with a prayer.

Our Troop attended Camp Daniel Boone, in  North Carolina this past summer - it is one of the best Scout camps in the country. This is a picture of a Campfire program at last years camp.
