Raising the next generation of Catholic men.
Based in Fennimore, Wisconsin, Troop #1545 is a father-and-son apostolate of the Troops of Saint George — forming boys in virtue through the outdoors, the sacraments, and the example of the men who lead them.
Virtus. Honor. Fraternitas.
Our Mission
“The Troops of Saint George apostolate aims to use the outdoors as our canvas and the sacraments as our path to light the way for the formation of Holy Catholic men and boys.”Troops of Saint George
Our Program
Fathers and sons, side by side.
We are not a drop-off program. Dads come along — camping, praying, and working shoulder to shoulder with their sons. What a boy learns here he learns from the men beside him.
The Outdoors
Campouts, hiking, fishing, shooting sports, and skills that build competence and grit — learned in the field, not from a screen.
The Sacraments
Mass, confession, and the Rosary are woven into everything we do. Adventure is the canvas; the sacramental life is the point.
Brotherhood
Boys are grouped into patrols and led by older boys, learning to serve, to lead, and to answer for one another.
Service
Our troop serves the parish and the wider community, because a man's strength is meant to be spent on somebody else.

Who we are, and where to find us.
