Diocesan Catholic Committee on Boy Scouting
The
Diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting for Boys is an appointed group
of religious and lay Scouters of both the Roman Catholic and Eastern
Catholic churches who promote and execute a religious program for youth
involved with the Boy Scouts of America. The committee meets quarterly.
Part of this program consists of four different religious emblems for boys
from first grade through 20 years old and one religious emblem program for
girls 15 through 20. There are separate awards for Catholic-sponsored units
and adults that promote the religious program. Occasionally there are other
awards and activities offered by the National Catholic Committee on Scouting
(TM). To execute this program we give promotional talks at unit, district,
council and diocesan levels. For the young people we hold an annual
retreatoree and convocation. For the adults we hold classes for emblem
moderators/facilitators. We also do training in spiritual formation.

Diocesan Catholic Committee on Girl Scouting
We, the
Catholic Committee on Scouting for Girls of the Office for Youth and
Young Adults in the Diocese of Greensburg, are volunteers dedicated to the
advancement of the spiritual and Catholic dimension of the Girl Scout
program. With the girls in mind this is accomplished through the religious
emblems, recognition, adult training and spiritual events that enhance the
Girl Scout ideals.
