area youth and calls back those who we haven\u2019t seen in a while.\u00a0 Each of our four teams:\u00a0 The Lords, Counts, Barons and Knights are under the watchful eyes of 2 teen captains.\u00a0 Each evening points are awarded under three categories: Spirit Points, for creativity, team unity, enthusiasm, posters, and sportsmanship, Tournament Points for winning the wild and crazy (and often messy) team games, and Outreach Points, 100 points for each young person who comes and joins a team.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

tally the scores there is a presentation that fits this year\u2019s theme:\u00a0 The League of Extraordinary Dragonslayers: Saints.\u00a0 We are focusing in on a number of saints who faced great challenges (dragons), whether they were personal temptations or societal problems.\u00a0 Our first night centered on the societal challenges encountered by St. John Bosco.\u00a0 Our three 2019 SYLC participants, Ashonti Macabales, Gabby Villalpando, and Samantha Castillo, did an outstanding job of talking about the work of Don Bosco and our call to follow his example in reaching out to other youth.\u00a0 We ended with the beautifully put together video sent out by Gina on the Strenna (Thank You Gina!) \u00a0Our next Dragonslayer saint?\u00a0 St. Gianna Molla!<\/p>\n<p><img
