The purpose of the Catholic Committee on Scouting of the Diocese of Kalamazoo is to provide guidance, vitality, and leadership in the development of the spiritual emphasis of Boy and Girl Scouting, American Heritage Girls and Camp Fire to all Catholic Scouts and Scouters of the Diocese. The Committee seeks to serve all Catholics involved in Scouting, whether in parish units or units not chartered to Catholic organizations. Annual programs include the Celebration of Faith Spring Retreat and the Bishop's Scout Mass in the spring. Training is also offered to enable Scout leaders to guide boys and girls as they earn their religious emblems.
