Catholic Scouting

The Diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting working under the guidance of the Office of Evangelization, Catechesis and Initiation works in support of youth and adults involved in Girl Scout, Boy Scout, American Heritage Girls 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.  There are also special recognitions for Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops.
