Scout Unit Information

Each year, local diocesan Catholic committees plan and execute programs, retreats, activities, songs and crafts that reach out to thousands of Catholic youth across the nation. The National Catholic Committee on Scouting® (NCCS) established the "Award for Excellence" to recognize these outstanding efforts.

This award is presented to units that demonstrate that they are providing a quality program in the following area (adult training and leadership, service by the unit, religious emblems, religious activities, vocation awareness, relationships and membership).

The Gold Medallion award program was established to identify and recognize the outstanding Catholic Cub Scout Pack, Boy Scout Troop, and Venturing Crew in each of the fifteen Episcopal Regions of the United States.
