Devil Pups is a non-profit organization designed to help teens 14-17 from all backgrounds gain self-confidence and learn to take responsibility for their actions. People wonder “Why the name Devil Pups?” The term “Devil Dogs” was used by German soldiers to describe Marines fighting in World War I. The Marines who organized this youth citizenship program chose the term “Devil Pups” to describe the quality of teen who can complete this program.

13 Saturday 2016 - MCL Breakfast Meeting
Devil Pups and Families: Please let me know asap how many from each family will be attending the Marine Corps League breakfast, 0830 at the Elks Lodge. The Commandant has asked for a count. I have a few of you who have replied. Please all do so again as I have been with my husband a lot at the Southern Utah Veterans Home and want to make sure I give as accurate a count as possible.
Thank you! I am not sure yet if Col. Toole and I can make it. We'll have to decide by tomorrow evening. Hope we can make it happen!

They are eager to hear from the pups - if you could be prepared to say what you liked and didn't like about camp, that would be wonderful. Don't hold back!!!! Please remember to thank them if you are asked to speak, and thanking individuals as you talk with them would be very much appreciated. The meeting will be held at the Elks Lodge, located at 630 W 1250 No, St. George. Please wear your outfit - shirt, scarf and cap with your jeans.
