(Religious Emblems Counselor)

 

Two Boy Scouts from St. Monica's received the "Ad Altare Dei" Award from Bishop Bambera in Scranton on June 8th.

The "Ad Altare Dei" (to the Altar of God) Emblem is the 3rd religious emblem a Scout can receive.  The purpose of the program is to help Catholic Boy Scouts of the Roman Rite develop a fully Christian way of life in the faith community.  The program is worked on within a group setting with the aid of a counselor.  It is organized into chapters based on the seven Sacraments, which are a primary means toward spiritual growth.

On June 12th, Father McKernan presented the "Light of Christ" Emblem to seven boys from Cub Scout Pack 366 (sponsored by St. Monica Parish).  The "Light of Christ" Emblem is the first emblem a Catholic boy who belongs to a Scout unit can receive.  The purpose is to help the Cub Scout develop a personal relationship with Jesus.  With his parents' active assistance and participation (special workbook requirements are worked on), it is hoped that the Cub will come to see Jesus as a real person and his friend.

The "ParVuli Dei" (Children of God) Emblem is awarded to older Cub Scouts.  The award is usually given to boys who are called Webelo Scouts.  The purpose of the program is to help the boys explore a wide range of activities in order to discover the presence of God in their daily lives as members of their families and parishes, and also to develop a good positive self- image through the contributions they can make to the group or community.
