Catholics Camp and Congregate
Posted by admin under: Outings; religion .
Scoutingnews.com has discovered a cool camping opportunity for Catholic kids. Boy Scouts and Venturing members can apply to be selected for the national Saint George Trek.
The 2009 Saint George Trek begins on Tuesday, July 21, 2009 in Albuquerque, New Mexico where the participants meet get to know one another, train, have fun and pray. Then it’s off to Philmont Scout Ranch where they will hike the Sangre de Cristo Range of the Rocky Mountains. While hiking, they will experience a program that is designed to encourage the integration of morality, values, spirituality, faith and scripture in their lives as Christian leaders.
…
Each Arch/diocese is encouraged to conduct a search and send one or two top-notch scouts to the Trek. Because the program can only accommodate seventy youth, only two participants per diocese will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
First come, first served. That means you’d better click on over to scoutingnews to find the contact info and talk to your priest. Philmont and God. What a combination!
