Description:
The Annual Scout Shabbat is celebrated annually in honor of the founding of the Boy Scouts of America on February 8, 1916. Join us as we mark Scouting’s 108th anniversary with Scout Shabbat Services. The National Jewish Committee on Scouting (NJCOS) encourages all Jewish Scouts to take pride in their faith by holding a Scout Shabbat service for their unit, district, or council. Since 2015, the San Gabriel Valley District Boy Scout Religious Committee has organized a special celebration each year. This year, the 11th annual event will be hosted at Temple Beth Israel in Pomona, welcoming all Scouting youth and Scouters to join in this meaningful tradition.

Unfortunately, we will not be selling patches this year. However, if you'd like to purchase one, it is available on the National Jewish Committee on Scouting website. Please see the details below. The image displayed is from last year’s patch.
