The
Catholic Committee on Girl Scouts was formed in the 1950's
to oversee the development of a spiritual presence in the
activities of the Girl Scout programs. The St. Louis Archdiocese,
through its parishes and schools, is the largest single sponsor
of Scouts in the St. Louis area. The Catholic Committee is
a group of people, lay and religious who believe that the
scouting is a viable form of youth ministry with the Catholic
church. Youth in
scouting should be helped with their spiritual citizenship
as well as their earthly citizenship. Most of the members
are active in scouting in other way, but they have dedicated
themselves to this extra effort. We are always looking for
new members, don't hesitate to offer your services. An extra
mind, fresh ideas and pair of hands can really make a difference.
We meet four times a year at the Cardinal Rigali Center at
7:00 p.m.
Come
to our meetings or call to learn more about who we are and
what we do!
