About Us

Troop 35 was chartered in 1930 under the leadership of Scoutmaster John Wilgus. The troop is sponsored by Saint Paul Catholic Church in North Canton, Ohio. We accept scouts from all religious and social backgrounds. The troop is registered in the Hetuck District of the Buckeye Council, Boy Scouts of America. The troop meetings are held on Tuesdays, 7:00pm to 8:30pm, at the Troop 35 Scout Hall located behind the Bluecoats Champion Event Center on Mississippi Street, North Canton.

If you are interested in learning more about Troop 35, feel free to stop by one of our troop meetings, held on Tuesdays from 7:00 - 8:30pm at the Scout Hall. Call the Scoutmaster or Committee Chairman if you have any questions or would like additional information.

The Troop committee meets the 3rd or 4th Wed of each month, 7pm-8pm, at the Scout Hall (check the calendar for exact date). Parents are encouraged to attend the committee meetings and participate in the troop.

Youth Protection

Diocese of Youngstown ---- St. Paul Church Child Protection Requirements

Since Troop 35 is chartered with St. Paul Church, all adult leaders in the troop are considered volunteers at the parish. As such, we are obligated to follow the guidelines mandated by the Youngstown Diocese regarding volunteers. These rules apply to anyone over the age of 18 who is involved in Troop 35 activities.

All volunteers who work directly with Children (a child is anyone under the age of 18) are required to do the following:

• Attend a Virtus Child Protection In-Service. This 2-1/2 hour seminar is offered periodically at St. Paul’s and at other churches in the Diocese. Check the VIRTUS website at Session Listings for upcoming classes. In the Session Listings, scroll-down until you find “Youngstown (Diocese)”.

• Be fingerprinted and have a BCI Report submitted to St. Paul’s. You can have this done at the BMV located at 3187 Whitewood St. NW, North Canton. If you have lived outside the state of Ohio, an FBI Report is required.

• According to In Bishop Bonnar's "Letter of Promulgation" on page 4 of the Dioceses' Safe-Environment-Policy pdf, it states this: The adult curriculum will primarily consist of the VIRTUS program, including the initial training entitled "Protecting God's Children," as well as continuing education modules to be completed every five years.
