MORE INFO TO COME.
If you are planning on being the coordinator, counselor, or facilitator for any Catholic religious emblems programs for boys or girls, you need to be trained. This training will give an overview of the emblems programs and activity patches available to all Catholic scouts and includes a breakout session to learn tips on how to get youth and parents involved and run the programs effectively.

Each year, the National Catholic Committee on Scouting® (NCCS®) conducts the "Scouting in the Catholic Church” training conference at Philmont Training Center in Cimarron, New Mexico.
Instructions for adults to be compliant with diocesan Safe Environment guidelines are outlined below.
These instructions pertain to individual volunteers for the Catholic Committee and all leaders and volunteers associated with Catholic-sponsored Scouting units, whether they are Catholic or not. Parents who are not registered leaders, but who may come in contact with youth who are not their own children, must also take the training. This is in addition to being current with BSA Youth Protection Training.
Contact your parish to complete this process.
