The Saint George Trek is The National Catholic Committee on Scouting’s® high adventure Catholic leadership program for older Catholic Boy Scouts and Venture Crew members at Philmont Scout Ranch. The program brings Catholic high school youth from around the country together with selected priests, religious and seminarians for eleven days of backpacking in the context of a vocation retreat.  More info will be available later in the Spring.

Any scout actively working on their Catholic religious emblem award needs to submit their completed workbook forms to the Diocese of Worcester.  Boy Scout awards are $15 (paid for by either the scout’s home parish or scout’s unit) and Girl Scouts - $12.  Checks can be made out to RC Bishop of Worcester.  Completed forms and checks should be mailed to: Diocese of Worcester, Attn: Deacon Bill White Catholic Scouting 49 Elm Street Worcester, MA 01609. 

The Worcester Diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting is offering for purchase a new Scout Sunday patch - with button loop - for units to provide to their Scouts and leaders as an incentive for participation in Scout Sunday activities in 2019. The patch is not restricted to Catholic Scouts, but rather all Scouts no matter their faith are eligible to receive one as determined by their unit leadership.

Cost of the patch is $3. Proceeds from the modestly-priced patch will help to defray - and perhaps eliminate - the costs of the medal programs for Scouts who seek to earn one or more of the four medals in the Catholic Diocese. Please use the form below to order, and contact John Atlas at scoutmastertroop9@gmail.com if you have any questions. Thank you for your help in promoting this program. 

Scout Sunday Patch Order Form

POSTPONED until Spring 2019. More details to come soon.
