This program is for everyone 11 years or older. It is designed to help young people understand the importance of the Catholic Church in their lives and to become more aware of the Real Presence of God in their lives, especially the Holy Eucharist.
This program has been in scouting for over thirty years. It helps Christian Scouts be better examples for living Christian lives with their neighbors.
