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.

12 Oct 2019 - Thank You to Marines
Devil Pups and Families: Please arrive in uniform by 8:30 a.m. at the Elks Lodge on No. Bluff Street for breakfast with Marines of Utah Dixie Detachment #1270. After breakfast we will move to the meeting room at 9:00 and 2019 Devil Pups will be presented to the Detachment. Your meals are free thanks to the Marines.
Please remember to thank the Marines as they come to shake your hands after the presentation. They provide funds for at least two pups to attend camp each year, so it is a wonderful contribution to our program.
You and your families are free to go after the presentation when the Marines begin their monthly meeting. Please - uniforms as shown below.

Awards Night
An awesome array of incredibly talented Southern Utah Devil Pups, a delicious Pizza Factory meal of salad, bread sticks, pizza and drinks, and a totally packed house made 2019 SoUtah Devil Pups Awards Night a huge success! Lead Liaison Representative Sgt. Billion Johnston led the evening full of fun, certificate presentations for donors, supporters, Eagles and staff as well as an unusually full list of Devil Pup camp award winners. Donna Toole, CoFounder and SoUtah Devil Pups Coordinator explained the origin of the Col. Toole Cookie Award and 10 Devil Pups loudly agreed as the special award went to JROTC instructors, CMSgt. Todd Cole of Pine View High School and SMSgt. Morgan Hager of Dixie High School for their support of the SoUtah Devil Pup program. These new Devil Pup graduates appreciate the financial and encouraging support of the Practical Shooting Range, Utah Dixie Detachment #1270 of the Marine Corps League, the Color Country Chapter of D.A.R. and the many individual supporters of our program. This year's 10 graduates bring our total of Southern Utah Devil Pups to 103 over our 13 year history. Congratulations, 2019 Devil Pups!
