Training Adults to Guide Scouts in Faith Formation through Religious Emblems Programs

We provide training based on the three areas of Scouting: 1) Cub Scouts; 2) Girl Scouts; 3) Boy Scouts and Ventures

Basic prerequisites: practicing Catholic; at least 21 years of age; complete a Religious Emblems Counselor Application; complete background check filed with your parish; complete Virtus training, if not already trained.

The training path consists of four phases: 1) Religious Emblems Counselor Application submission; 2) Study; 3) Classroom training session; 4) Mentoring.

Please review the the study phase before attending the classroom phase as this will prepare you for the intense training session.

Classroom phase of training for Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts ends at noon. Boy Scout and Venture training continues until 3:00 pm. Please arrive shortly before 8:00 am. We'll participate in the celebration of the Mass promptly at 8:00 am.
