Earn Your Catholic Scout Religious Award

Religious Awards are offered to scouts of every age. In earning the awards, scouts do projects around their faith with other scouts, their families and their parishes.
There is a new way to offer the Ad Altare Dei Award for older scouts - on line!  To counsel this award, counselors must attend a special workshop.

(Note: The Board of Review for Ad Altare Dei and Pope Pius XII Awards will not be on Saturday, January 29 but scheduled on demand via Zoom.  To schedule, contact Catholic Scouting.
