Religious patches available to earn
Troop 1 always encourages scouts to enhance their Duty to God by earning a religious emblem. In addition to the religious knot or medal that can be worn on the uniform, there are also series of fun patches that can be earned as well. The Footsteps of American Saints program sponsored by the National Catholic Committee on Scouting is one way for you to earn some patches and learn about the saints.
Recently Bishop Steven Raica, of the Diocese of Gaylord, attended the National Catholic Youth Conference and brought back some beautiful patches as an example of what can be earned in scouting. Contact your scoutmaster or your religious coordinators Mrs. Engel and Mrs. Sharkey to find out more information. Any Boy Scout or Cub Scout can earn these patches.
