Catholic Committee on Scouting, BSA
|
|
The
Catholic Committee on Scouting, BSA, was formed in the
1950's to oversee the development of a spiritual presence
in the activities of the Boy 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 7:30 p.m..
Come
to our meetings or call to learn more about who we are
and what we do! If you want to join the committee
