A Scout is Reverent..... PDF Print E-mail

Scouting is an effective way to help Catholic youths to do their duty to God and to their country. Scouting builds character and teaches devotion to God in an environment that provides wholesome fun under the guidance of strong adult role models. The scouting programs provide a wonderful channel to involve youth in the life of Catholic parishes.

Young people experience Scouting as a growth into personal maturity and social responsibility. They learn to assume their role in life with a high degree of commitment, and to care for others who are less fortunate. They develop a strong desire to build a culture of goodwill, respect for the environment and acceptance of duties.

Troop 444 is Chartered by the Knights of Columbus based at St. Bernadette and invites all religions to attend.  Catholic youth are able to earn two Religious awards in the Boy Scouting program.

For our other brothers, the Troop has set aside counselors who help youth earn the protestant awards, no matter what your religion - we connect you with the people and the methods to earn the Youth Religious Award.

To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, religious groups have developed the following religious emblems programs. The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the emblems to be worn on the official uniform. The various religious groups administer the programs. Check with your local council service center to obtain the curriculum booklets.
