Roman Catholic

Catholic Cub Scouts are eligible to earn two distinct Religious Emblems. Both emblems are earned through completion of an easy-to-follow activity booklet that their parent/adult partner walks the scout through. This is great opportunity to teach your scout about your faith and make a personal connection through the activities. Upon completion of the Activity Book, one must obtain all required signatures that are on the final page of the book. After receiving all signatures, MAKE A COPY, mail the original page to the JDCCS through the instructions provided at the "Ordering Awards" link below. Emblems ordered by the end of March each year will be blessed and awarded to Scouts in a special Mass of Recognition that takes place in April. For our Pack, the Catholic Religious Emblems are provided through the JDCCS (Joliet Diocese Catholic Committee on Scouting). Any further questions, please reach out to our Religious Emblems Coordinator, Michael Roszyk, at mroszyk01@yahoo.com
