Catholic Committee on Scouting - Diocese of Tucson
ABOUT
The Diocese of Tucson Catholic Committee on Scouting provides support for religious programs that serve youth, including Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and American Heritage Girls throughout the diocese.
The values taught in Scouting are the same found in the Gospels. Scouting is an effective way to help Catholic youths do their duty to God and to their country. Scouting builds character and teaches devotion to God in an environment that provides wholesome fun under the guidance of strong adult role models. The scouting programs provide a wonderful channel to involve youth in the life of Catholic parishes.
