Scout Sunday
The Scouts BSA annually celebrates its founding on Feb. 8. Scout Sunday is always the Sunday preceding Feb. 8, unless the 8th is a Sunday, in which case the 8th would be Scout Sunday. The NCCS has compiled resources regarding the celebration of Scout Sunday in the parish.
Girl Scout Sunday kicks off Girl Scout Week each March and it always includes Girl Scouts’ birthday, March 12. Girl Scout Sunday gives girls an opportunity to be recognized as a Girl Scout at their parish. Information on planning an event for Girl Scout Sunday can be found here. -
