2024 Devil Pup Season Coming Up

The 2024 Southern Utah Devil Pup training season will be here before we know it.  It is always a fresh start and getting to know a new batch of teens who want to be challenged by this incredible youth citizenship program is an awesome responsibility.  

For the 2024 camp year, the new SUDP coordinator will be Vie Van Noy as I am retiring.  But I like to say I’ve moved up the corporate ladder to “consultant.”  Vie is a super organized person and I’m looking forward to her insight for the program.  She has been a Devil Pup mom so is very familiar with the program.

Hang tight for the 2024 year.  Training usually begins around the first of May.  If you have questions before Parent Information Night, e-mails can be addressed to Vie at sud3v1lpups@gmail.com. 

Thanks for the memories!!!  Donna Toole

Awards Night Sold Out

SUDP friends:  Our Awards Night on August 22 at the Pizza Factory in St. George is sold out!!  Appreciate everyone signing up promptly so we know how much food to prepare.  For those of you who are signed up, we would appreciate a cash payment if at all possible at the door.  This will enable us to pay the Pizza Factory in one lump sum at the end of the evening.  All you can eat dinner is $9.50 per person (or $10 if you want to donate 50 cents to SUDP).  The room seats 80 and we have 81 signed up.  Hope it works out!

Awards Night at Pizza Factory

Hello, 2023 Pups, Parents and Fans:

Awards Night has been set.  So please set aside Tuesday, August 22 for Southern Utah Devil Pups Awards Night at the St. George Pizza Factory located in Ancestor Square, 2 W. Saint George Blvd, #8, St. George, UT 84770.  

We try to keep the time at a minimum because it's a school night.  Should be around 1-1/2 hour.

Attire is casual, but Pups and Eagles are required to wear their Devil Pup uniforms. 

We have the room upstairs reserved for 6:30 p.m.  Price per person will be $9.50 for unlimited pizza, salad, breadsticks and sodas. And that includes tip.  Please bring cash. (If you would make the math easier and make that $10 a person, we would be grateful for the 50 cent donations.)  

We will have a table and cash box at the entrance to the upstairs room so you can pay as soon as you arrive and then just enjoy the evening.  Please let us know if you have any food issues - gluten free, vegan, etc.

2023 Camp Winners

Every one of our eleven new Devil Pups completed the 2023 camp challenges and are official Devil Pups.  This is an awesome achievement and one they can be proud of the rest of their lives.  We also had four special award winners this year.  

Daniel Campos was chosen to participate in the guidon retirement ceremony.  It's probably my favorite part of the graduation festivities.  Congrats, Daniel!!


Saxton Ballard, a Pine View cadet and new Devil Pup earned the Lt. Col. Bill Toole Award for Persistence.  As you might guess, this is a special award in my view.  Bill, my husband, was the Marine who brought the Devil Pup program to Southern Utah.


Micah Gifford, a Dixie High School cadet and new Devil Pup, earned the James McMonagle Initiative Award.  Marine McMonagle is a retired United States Marine Corps Major General who served as Commanding General of the 1st Marine Division and Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego.


Stetson Taylor, also a Dixie High School cadet and new Devil Pup, earned the Justin Speier Award, Power of Influence.  Justin Speier is also a Marine involved with Devil Pups who is an American former professional baseball pitcher in Major League Baseball.


Those are some prestigious awards!  Congratulations to our 2023 Devil Pups.  Devil Pups from Southern Utah are very special.


Congratulations!  Donna Toole, SUDP Coordinator
