At this Mass, Vicar General Rev. James Misko will celebrate and recognize scouts from Scouts BSA, Girl Scouts, and American Heritage Girls who have earned a religious emblem or award in the previous year.  Eagle Scouts and Gold Award and Stars and Stripes awardees are invited to attend.

Are you interested in facilitating a Religious Emblem program for middle and high school students (Ad Altre, Pope Pius XI, Mary the First Disciple, Missio, Women of Integrity)? Register for our upcoming LAF / REC (Lay Apostolate Formation and Religious Emblem Couselor) training.

All scouts, scouting families and scout leaders are invited to join Fr. Will Rooney and the Diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting for a 5-mile hike around Lake Georgetown on our journey to be apostles of faith. The day will begin at 10 a.m. Bring your own lunch and water bottle.

The DCCS Committee meets quarterly to assess the needs of our Catholic Scouting population and to plan age-appropriate events to foster a deeper appreciation of our faith. In addition, the committee sponsors adult training for religious emblem counselor roles. If you have a topic that you think needs to be addressed or would like to attend, please contact DCCS chair, Ronda Motl.
