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. We serve the Bishop by advising him on matters of Catholic Scouting and support the efforts of the Diocesan Office of Youth Ministry.
The Committee organizes, promotes and administers the diocesan Catholic Scouting Religious Awards program for boys and girls as promulgated by the National Catholic Committee on Scouting and the National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire. 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 Scouts.
Thanks for visiting this site. If there is anything that we can do to assist you, your unit, your parish, or even your diocese with Scout Religious Awards please feel free to reach out to us.
