Scouting

"Scouting enables young people to ponder the mysteries of the natural world, learn timeless crafts and skills, go on challenging trips and adventures, and offer their God-given gifts and talents to others in need.  In 1934, the Bishops of the United States, recognizing the strong moral value of the Scouting movement to Catholic youth, formally joined in partnership with Boy Scouts of America to sponsor Scouting units in parishes throughout the country. Because of the success this partnership has had in reaching out to Catholic youth and promoting their faith development, Boy Scouting in the Catholic Church in this country has grown steadily over the years so that today there are over ten thousand Catholic-sponsored Scout units. The Church also associates (through the National Federation of Catholic Youth Ministry) with the Girl Scout and Camp Fire Boys & Girls programs. Both have a strong commitment to the faith development of young men and women. There are currently more than one million Catholic youth in the Boy Scout, Girl Scout and Camp Fire Boys & Girls programs."
