Catholic Scouting Awards Ceremony

Catholic Scouting Awards Ceremony

9:30 a.m. Family Mass, and Reception

St. Stephen Church, 451 Eucalyptus Drive, San Francisco

All are welcome to celebrate the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts in the Archdiocese of San Francisco who have earned religious awards in the past year. The awards ceremony will take place during the 9:30 a.mm family Mass at St. Stephen Parish, with a reception in the parish hall after Mass. Donuts, coffee, juice, and fruit will be served.

Congratulations to everyone who earned awards this year, and thank you to the counselors and other adult volunteers who helped them.

We encourage Scouts to earn their religious awards. For more information on how to do that, check out the National Catholic Committee on Scouting site for Boy Scouts, www.nccs-bsa.org, or the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry site for Girl Scout awards, www.nfcym.org/patches. On those sites you can order workbooks, leader guides, and awards for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.

Financial assistance is available for scouts who could not otherwise afford uniforms and scouting supplies. Applicants must be members of parish-based or Catholic school-based units or troops. Please visit https://sfarchdiocese.org/youthministry for instructions on applying for assistance.
