The purpose of the Diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting is to give guidance, vitality, and leadership in the spiritual phase of Scouting to all Catholic Scouts and Scouters of the diocese. The committee endeavors to make the entire Scouting Program available to increasing numbers of youth in parish units and in units operated by Catholic organizations.
Catholic Scouting Religious Programs
The goal of religious programs is to provide a structure where Scouts can grow in faith and apply what they learn to their every day life. It is important to understand that Catholic Scouting religious programs are not merely awards for completing a set of requirements. Instead, they recognize a young person's growth in faith and how they live out their Catholic faith.
