    (NOTE: In Person Only)
  • This annual service is back in person for the first time in three years. Scout Sunday Service is partly about expressing appreciation to the temple for all that it does for the scouts every year.  Scout Sunday also recognizes Girl Scouts who have earned Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards, Boy Scouts who have achieved the rank of Eagle, and Cub Scouts who have earned their Arrow of Light.  We also recognize Scouts who have earned their Religious Award. The service is open to the entire sangha. With the scouting families participation, you can expect attendance to be much greater than a typical Sunday service.
