Activities
The Allentown Diocese Catholic Committee on Scouting runs an excellent annual Catholic Scout Activity Weekend that all Catholic scouts and Catholic -sponsored troops are welcome to attend. It provides all Ad Altare Dei and Pope Pius XII candidates the opportunity to attend a retreat as required by their workbook. At this Weekend, Boards of Review are also held for all candidates. Scouts who pass the Board then receive their medals at a special diocesan-wide Religious Emblems Awards Ceremony held in May.
For the adults, activities include training classes for Cub Scout Religious Emblems Coordinators/Presenters and Ad Altare Dei and Pope Pius XII Counselors. These classes are held annually at the Minsi Trails Council's University of Scouting or can be scheduled by contacting Fred Flemming at fcflemming@gmail.com.
