·         The ceremony, which does not include Mass, starts at 2:00 PM. Cub Scouts and young girls, in full uniform (no hats), are asked to arrive by 1:00 PM for registration. Cubs and Boy Scouts register in the parish hall, girls in the church narthex. Some leaders will be asked to remain with the Cubs and younger girls to assist in keeping the scouts organized in their specified order prior to the procession into and in the church.

·         Scouts will process into the church and when their group is called forward each receives their award from the Bishop. A printed program will be provided. Parents do not sit with scouts.

·         Depending on the Bishop’s schedule, group pictures with him will be organized after the ceremony. Special instructions for pictures will be announced prior to the ceremony. There will be no individual or small group pictures with the Bishop.

Information on upcoming events, to include retreats, will be available in the parish hall before and after the ceremony.

Miniature pins (Mother’s pins) for Cub and Boy Scout emblems will be available for $5.00 in the narthex after the ceremony.

A social, with snacks, is usually scheduled after the ceremony in the parish hall.

Reminder: Cub Scouts have the choice of attending this ceremony or having their award presented locally. See Light of Christ or Parvuli Dei for details.

In addition to the medal, scouts earning any of these emblems are entitled to wear the youth religious knot with program device on their uniform. It can be purchased at local Scout Shops
