Scouts who wish to complete the Ad Altare Dei, Pope Pius XII, Mary the First Disciple or The Spirit Alive programs must work with an adult who has been trained to help with these programs.  The Training Committee of the Diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting offers a semi-annual Couselor Training course so adults can learn their role with these programs.  Training is valid for three years.
