HOAC - Catholic Committee on Scouting Retreat

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Heart of America Council, BSA Catholic Committee on Scouting ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Upcoming Event Catholic Committee on Scouting Retreat The upcoming retreat, sponsored by the Catholic Committee on Scouting and put on by Venturing Crew 875, would like to invite both Catholic and non-Catholic Scouts to attend. In fact, several non-Catholic units attend our retreats annually as their September Campout.

Main Retreat The annual Catholic Scouting Retreat will be held September 7-9 at Rotary Youth Camp in Lee's Summit. The is the one chance per year that all area Catholic scouts have the opportunity to camp together and experience a fun faith-filled weekend. Our theme is Disciplship = Life. We have split our program into five areas: Learn, Teach, Follow, Serve, and Grow. As attendees visit each program area, they will learn about discipleship, and participate in fun instructional exercises. There will be a penance service on Saturday evening where several priest will be on-hand to hear confessions. The retreat concludes on Sunday morning after mass. This retreat is for scouts 5th grade and older. Day-Retreat In addition, we are offering a corresponding day-retreat for Cub Scouts. Now in its third year, this program was designed to introduce the younger scouts to the retreat experience. This day-retreat is for scouts 4th-grade and under. It will be held on Saturday, September 8, along-side the main retreat, at Rotary Camp. See the attachments for some general info on both retreats, including the tentative schedules. Both retreats will be held on the weekend after Labor Day at Rotary Camp.
