We are the Girl Scouts of Beautiful Waters - we are one service unit area that is a part of Girl Scouts of West Central Florida. 

We have Tarpon area troops for girls in grades Kindergarten through High School. Depending on age level groups meet on different days and times.

Don't have a school aged Girl Scout?  Have a special skill or interest you want to share? We are always looking for community members to lead a class, event or even a troop!

We are looking for volunteers to help once a month to help with our Catholic Girl Scout Religious Medal Program.

Part of our Women's Council, this amazing group of volunteers gather each Monday to make beautiful rosaries to be provided to missionaries in the world that are in need of them to fulfill Our Lady’s requests at Fatima, to pray the Rosary daily.  They also make rosaries for the First Communicants and special ones for the parents of children who are baptized at our parish. Rosaries are also provided for any kind of need in our parish such as student retreats, or some special events. The group makes time for prayers and camaraderie as they make the rosaries. If you like to learn how to make rosaries, and make friends, stop by any Monday after the 9 am Mass in the Community Center, classroom 4. 

If you're interested in joining the Rosary Makers Ministry, please email us.

Our welcome desk is located on the right side of the narthex and is loaded with great information about the parish. If you would like to help maintain this area, please email us!

Our Welcoming Ministry holds receptions every other month for new parishioners. We welcome them to the parish, introduce them to our many ministries, and answer any questions they might have.

If you would like to be the face of St. Ignatius to our newcomers, email us!
