"Great prayer service Sunday”  

“Today was beautiful at the New Cathedral”

“My favorite part of the entire ceremony was when one of the special needs recipients reached out to embrace the bishop who promptly hugged him back.”

Come Experience the Mission from God!!
Catholic Scouting Image
Come Join us at Catholic Adventure Week 2011 for the "Mission from God!"

Come Experience - Mission from God!

Join us....It's not too late to sign up!! 

We have Spots open just for YOU..... at Catholic Adventure Week

2011 for the  "Mission from God!"

Online Registration going on now!   www.stlbsa.org

For Registration Information, call the camping service department at 314-361-0600.

Our goal in providing this week for our Catholic scouts is to give them an experience of living their faith, growing in their faith, and loving their faith within the scouting movement and especially out in the wonders of God’s creation.

While at Swift for CAW, scouts will be camping with their individual troops, under their particular adult leadership.  Since a number of our participants are attending this camp in addition to their troop’s summer camp, there will be cases where a scout from a troop does not have a leader present at camp.  A “provisional troop” will be made for one of the camp sites, with leadership being provided by members of the Catholic Committee on Scouting, BSA.  In the past this system has worked very well, and scouts seem to mix easily with other scouts, without the tension that can be experienced at a normal summer camp.

While at CAW, scouts will be exposed to the entire High Adventure program offered at Swift.  Intertwined with the outstanding program offered by the Swift staff, there will be opportunities for prayer, religious instruction, and reflection.
