Catholic Youth Scout Retreat

Scouts in grades 5-12 are invited by the Green Bay Catholic Committee on Scouting and the Milwaukee Archdiocese Catholic Committee to join them on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help in Champion, WI.

This is a one-day retreat for Catholic youth. Adult leaders and parents are encouraged to attend.

The program starting at 9:00 AM. The event concludes at 3:00 PM. Many fun and faith-lifting activities are planned, as well as, a rosary walk and an opportunity for Reconciliation.

Participation in the retreat fulfills part of the requirements for those working on their Ad Altare Dei Emblem and also earn participants the Rosary patch and the all new Our Lady of Good Help Activity patch.

The retreat will introduce the requirements for earning the International Catholic Awareness Emblem. The International Catholic Conference of Scouting, a world-wide organization, offers a pin and patch activity recognition for Cub Scouts, a medallion and patch activity recognition for Scouts BSA, Venturing, and Scouters. These pins and medallions are offered to any Cub Scout, Scouts BSA member, Venturer, or Scouter, in recognition for increased awareness of Scouting in the Catholic church throughout the world. If the Scout wishes to have the International Award, there will be an extra $20 charge.

The event costs $15 per participant, which includes lunch, program materials, and a patch. Online pre-registration is required.

Scouts should attend in Class A uniform, come with a positive attitude, and the desire to grow spiritually.
