Catholic Scouts attending a week of summer camp have an excellent opportunity to reflect on the ways in which Scouting ought to reinforce their faith. The DCCS has developed a devotional program to facilitate these reflections. Using this program as a guide, Scouts can meet with a group of friends and a mature Catholic mentor to pray daily and renew their commitment to live in accordance with God’s will.
A Catholic Scout Retreat for all young people involved with Scouting BSA in the Diocese will be held Saturday, November 22, from 9AM-7PM at St. Patrick Cathedral in Harrisburg.
