Our Mission

The Committee is dedicated to promoting "Duty to God" at each level of Scouting. We are affiliated with the National Catholic Committee on Scouting (NCCS) – a religious advisory group to the Boy Scouts of America, and the National Catholic Committee on Girl Scouts USA and Camp Fire USA (NCCGSCF) - which is associated with the National Federation of Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM), and guided by the Diocese of Colorado Springs Office of Youth Ministry.

Who We Are

The Catholic Committee on Scouting is a volunteer organization of concerned lay people and religious of the Catholic Diocese of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Membership is open to all who desire to serve the youth of the Diocese involved with Scouting. We serve the Bishop by advising him on matters of Catholic Scouting and support the efforts of the Diocesan Office of Youth Ministry. You are welcome to join us!

The Committee organizes, promotes and administers the diocesan Catholic Scouting Religious Emblems program for boys and girls as promulgated by the National Catholic Committee on Scouting (boys) and the National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire (girls). The Committee also supports the adult religious awards program for those adults in service to the Catholic Youth in Scouting. And finally we train and certify religious awards counselors for the awards for older boys and girls.
