Jerusalem Cross

The Jerusalem Cross is awarded to Scouting in the Catholic Church (SitCC) participants who return to their dioceses and complete a mission project benefiting Catholic youth of their community. The cross is placed on the leather thong received during the SitCC conference. Each day the participants received a colored bead to represent the day's component.

Color Component
Red St. Matthew: Leadership Development, Advocacy
White St. Mark: Catechesis, Evangelization
Blue St. Luke: Pastoral Care, Justice & Service
Yellow St. John: Prayer and Worship, Community Life

The Jerusalem Cross is awarded at the NCCS Annual Meeting held in April of each year. Recipients unable to attend the annual meeting will receive the Jerusalem Cross through his/her local ecclesiastic authority for presentation. The participant has two years from the date of the SitCC conference to complete the requirements.

The Jerusalem Cross is also awarded to the Scouting in the Catholic Church conference staff at the beginning of their conference.

NOTE: The Jerusalem Cross is not a Adult Religious Emblem and the recipient is not eligible to receive the BSA Adult religious knot.
