Ad Altare Dei

About the Emblem

The purpose of the Ad Altare Dei (to the altar of God) program is to help Catholic Boy Scouts of the Roman Rite develop a fully Christian way of life in the faith community. The program is organized in chapters based on the seven Sacraments. The seven Sacraments are a primary means toward spiritual growth. The most important aspect of the program is that the Scout grows in his spiritual experience of his relationship to God and the church.

The program will run every other year. The 2014 program will be beginning soon. For information regarding requirements, here. For other inquiries, contact the Scoutmaster.

 


St. John Bosco Youth Award

About the Award

The St. John Bosco Emblem is a religious recognition awarded by the Catholic Committee on Scouting – Camp Fire that may be earned by either a Cub or Boy Scout as he discovers the relationship between the values learned in Scouting and his Religion. This program is to allow the “new Scout” an opportunity to immediately start working on a program that will enhance his religious education and to make him aware of the tie between Scouting and the Church. It will also serve as a reminder to the Parish that a tie does exist between a Scouting and faith development/youth ministry of the Catholic Church.

The St. John Bosco Emblem is designed for Cub and Boy Scouts of the Catholic Faith; however, if a non-Catholic Scout desires to participate in this program, he may do so with the written permission of his parents or guardian.
