Scouting in the Catholic Church
As an adventure both in and out of the classroom, Scouting is the perfect tool to bring new life to a parish’s youth ministry program or a Catholic school’s after school programs. Scouting provides resources in STEM opportunities, High Adventure venues and much more. The conference is designed for any adult interested in using Scouting to help support Catholic youth ministry such as Scout chaplains, clergy, diocesan or parish youth ministers, and council, diocesan, regional and national Catholic Committee leadership and members.
