Check out the National Catholic Committee on Scouting for information about how to earn patches and other awards that help a Scout participate in their Duty to God.

 

Eucharistic Revival

Scouts of all ages are encouraged to participate in the Eucaristic Revival by earning the Eucharistic Revival patch and accompanying rockers. The activities related to the main patch and each rocker are designed to encourage us to learn more about the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
