Scouting in the Catholic Church - 2010 Information

Philmont 2010 - August 1-7

The 2010 Scouting in the Catholic Church Conference is scheduled for August 1-7, 2010. The conference brings together religious and lay participants with varying experience in Scouting and the Catholic faith. The goal of the conference is to help the participants understand how Scouting is a Youth Ministry and how to use the information in their dioceses* when talking with Scouters, priests, and youth ministers.

The Scouting in the Catholic Church Conference was developed to meet the needs of all who labor in the field of Scouting as Youth Ministry. Laity, clergy, religious, youth ministers, Scout Execs, members of the Council/District Key 3, Council Membership chairs, vocation directors, youth ministry directors, CYO Directors, pastors, CORs, regional and diocesan committee chairs, chaplains, and committee members -- all who seek to better serve our youth through Scouting as Youth Ministry are welcomed and encouraged to attend!

The 2010 faculty will be: NCCS Vice Chair Susan Barriball, Course Director; NCCS National Chaplain, Fr. Ray Fecteau, Course Advisor; Region 11 Chairman Chris Manning; and NCCS Training Committee Chair, Margaret Matarese.

The new BSA on-line registration is now available at scouting.org. You will need a registration number from your council before you can register on-line.
