How to Find a Catholic Religious Emblems Counselor
Catholic religious emblems programs for older youth (girls: "Mary, The First Disciple", "Spirit Alive", boys: "Ad Altare Dei" and "Pope Pius XII") require that a trained Religious Emblems Counselor lead the group sessions. See the "About Us" link on the left Navigation pane to locate a parish/area representative to help you locate a counselor or click here.
Youth working on the Marian Medal, Spirit Alive, Ad Altare Dei, or Pope Pius XII awards are required to attend a retreat sponsored by the Catholic Committee on Scouting. Religious counselors are required for work on any of these four awards, and must be registered with the Catholic Committee prior to authorization of any work on these awards.
Annual Scout Recognition Mass - Spring 2019
Each year the Bishop of the Diocese of Colorado Springs holds a Mass to recognize and present to Scouts their recognition for successful completion of Catholic Scouting youth Religious Awards. Worthy Scout leaders are also recognized at this program for their years of service to Catholic Scouting. (Arrive 15-20 minutes early to sign-in.) The Mass is at St. Mary's Cathedral in Colorado Springs (see map).
