The Boy Scouts of America annually celebrates its founding on February 8. Scout Sunday is always the Sunday preceding February 8th, unless the 8th is a Sunday, in which case the 8th would be Scout Sunday. 

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.

The NCCS has compiled resources regarding the celebration of Scout Sunday in the parish.
