The Privilege of Being a Troop Officer
In our age, there is a crisis of manhood and fatherhood. The Officers of the Troops of Saint George stand as models of heroic virtue in our time of crisis. These young innocent eyes will look to you as you grow in Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance. Young men will study your standard of perseverance in Faith, Hope, and Charity toward God and mankind.

In order for us to be granted our charter we MUST fill the basic leadership positions. Being that we will have every father with every child that is a member, the role of the officers are more of a facilitation roll.

Please consider where your talents can best serve.

*** Don't feel like you are obligated to fullfil a role just because you are coming in as a charter member**
Yes, I am interested in serving in an officer capacity, if available
