Pat Maggard usually teaches the AAD class to prepare the boys for receiving their religious award. He thought it would be better to combine the 8th and 9th Grade classes and keep the every other year schedule.  (For non-Catholics, if you are interested, Pat will look into the requirements for those awards.   It�s probably similar enough that it can be covered in the same sessions.)

It is a big commitment on Pat�s part as well as the boys.   He usually has several sessions on Sunday mornings (at 10:00) as well as a service project, meeting with Father Bruce, and the trip to Conception Abbey for an overnight.   He also needs a parent for each meeting for 2 deep leadership.  This can be one parent or a rotation basis.  (Pat, if I am missing anything here, correct me)  In the past, he has started in August, in order to finish by Scout Sunday. 

8th and 9th grade parents, please let us know as soon as possible, if you are interested in your sons participating (and more importantly, if they are willing to get to the scout room every Sunday and complete the requirements!)  If you have any specific questions, let me or Pat M. know.
