Pack 626 Special Awards

Pack 626 has received notice from the Archdiocese Catholic Committee on Scouting that we have been awarded both the National Catholic Quality Unit Award and the Golden Bow award!

These are significant honors for Pack 626! There are about 9600 Catholic-chartered Scout units, and this year only 150 will qualify for the National Catholic Quality Unit award. The award is based on Pack presence and recruiting, service projects, and religious medal participation (Light of Christ & Parvuli Dei).

The Quality Unit Award will be presented by Archbishop Nienstedt at the awards ceremony at the St. Paul Cathedral, 10:00am on March 29th.

At this same mass, our own Mrs. Jeanne Schaaf will receive the Bronze Pelican award for service to the Catholic community of Scouting.

Congratulations, Pack 626! We are extremely proud of you!

A Scout is Reverent

Scouting encourages and supports the faith development of the scout. The primary purpose of the religious emblem program is to provide an opportunity to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person. Both the Light of Christ and Parvuli Dei programs are designed to be completed within the family/home environment and to encourage the scout to talk about his faith. The title of each program is a link to more information.

Light of Christ – The purpose of the Light of Christ program is to have the scout develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and to better understand and appreciate Christ’s love and concern for him.
Parvuli Dei – The Parvuli Dei program is a parish and family oriented program. Its purpose is to help the scout develop an awareness of God’s love for all of creation and to understand his identity as an important member of his family, his community, and as a member in the Family of God.”
