Religious Recognition Programs

All Catholic Scouts desiring to work towards one of the Religious Recognition programs must meet the following general requirements: baptized Roman Catholic (of any Latin or Eastern Rite), attending Catholic school or enrolled in the parish RE program, and active in Scouting a minimum of six months. Questions? Please call Ted at (703) 491-2724 or e-mail: tzag3@comcast.net

The procedures are simple: Fill out the form below and with it, send $7.00 per Scout for the particular recognition to:

Ted Zagrobelny
12310 Beechnut Ct
Woodbridge, VA 22192

Some groups will order the books for a group of five, ten, twenty, or more. Others leave it up to the individual parents. It’s your choice. Checks should be made out to CCOS (Catholic Committee on Scouting). After the program is completed, fill out the completion sheet in the book, get the appropriate signatures, and sent the sheet back to Ted. Then he'll send you the medal for presentation to the Scout.

The recognition can be presented at mass on Girl Scout Sunday, a school mass for those at a parochial school or a weekend parish mass. The annual Diocesan Scout Mass is celebrated in February. Bishop Loverde, the main celebrant for the mass, encourages all Scouts to attend and looks forward to greeting and congratulating each of you on your work.
