Awards since the Pack is chartered by a Catholic
Parish. For more information about the emblems,
click on the images of them on the top of this
page. Pack 18's Committee approved the purchase of
booklets or other materials for each scout, regardless
of faith. If there are any requests for programs other

We will ensure that all scouts have the opportunity to

| Pope John Paul
II Honors 50th Anniversary of Catholic Scouting |
|
Still focusing on youth, in an apostolic letter
honoring the 50th anniversary of the international organization
of Catholic Scouts, Pope John Paul II called on the leaders of
the scout movement to a more "radical" witness to
Gospel virtues.
To representatives of the scout group-- who had took time off
from their conference in Rome to join his Angelus audience on
Sunday-- the Pope thanked the scout leaders for their
"teaching based on Gospel values," and their
insistence on "moral rectitude and the spirit of
self-discipline, as well as their service to society and the
Church. He pointed out that scouting has in practice proven to
be an effective means of preparing young people for religious
life.
Finally, the Pope said, the international scouting movement has
enabled young people of different races, languages, and cultures
to meet and educate each other. He praised the "ecumenical
spirit" of the Scout movement, and its contribution to
international understanding.
