January 24, 2012: Smithtown is home to many active Scouting Troops. Recently, both Troop 7 of St. James and Troop 349 of Nesconset hosted Eagle Courts of Honor, which are a solemn and significant event not only for the Eagle Scout, but for the whole troop.On Thursday, January 19, 2012, several family members, scout leaders and community representatives gathered to acknowledge the proud work of Michael Guadagno, son of John and Anne Guadagno of St. James. Michael worked with the Scouting Committee to draw plans, raise funding, and ultimately construct a handicapped accessible ramp for the rectory at Saints Phillip and James Church. Michael’s work will have a lasting positive impact on all of the parish members.
