The New Philly Cub Scouts recently received the 2015 Journey to Excellence award at a Gold Level. Only 10% of Packs in the nation are awarded Gold. Journey to Excellence is earned at re-charter in March for efforts during the previous Scouting Year.

This award is special because it recognizes a number of performance metrics mainly based on growth, participation in events (service projects and outing), retention, youth advancement and trained leadership. Exceptional record keeping is necessary for receipt of this award and so a team of parent leaders, guided by one of our members, also an Assistant Pack Leader, Drew Starling, collected and organized the necessary documentation to be considered for the award.

Packs across the nation can receive this award at 3 levels: Gold (90th percentile and above), Silver (50th percentile and above), or Bronze (20th percentile and above).
Pack 715 has remained very strong and active in recent years.

The Pack is proud to receive this award and very thankful for the support received from the Boards and Members of New Philadelphia.

Women’s 7-Week Bible Study-The Armour of God by Priscilla Shirer. Meets on Mondays at 10:30 am in Banquet Room AND Thursdays at 6:30 pm in the Bona Vita Classroom.

All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you — unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life. A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you: your heart, your mind, your marriage, your children, your relationships, your resilience, your dreams, your destiny.

But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed. If you’re tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.

The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion. The Armor of God, more than merely a biblical description of the believer’s inventory, is an action plan for putting it on and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.
