Diocese of Kalamazoo

Catholic Scouting

The Office of Evangelization, Catechesis and Initiation works collaboratively with the Diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting in support of youth and adults involved in Girl Scout, Boy Scout and Camp Fire programs whether in parish units or units not chartered to Catholic organizations.    

Catholic religious emblems and recognitions allow young people to explore and learn more about their Catholic faith within the context of their scouting experience. 
Adult awards recognize outstanding leadership and promotion of spiritual development within Scouting.
