The Light is Life is a program developed for scouts of the Eastern-rite Catholic Churches. Light is Life respects the cultural and ritual differences among the various Eastern Catholic Churches. The overall goal of the Light is Life religious emblem program is to bring about in the Scout, through his Eastern Catholic Scouting experience, a deeper awareness of his share in faith-life. Then going forth, he will witness this life through maturity in communal worship and in the Christian formation of his world.

Eligibility
Registered Boy Scouts under the age of 18 of an Eastern-rite Catholic Church tradition. 

Special Note
This program can be used by the Eastern Catholic Scouts in place of the Ad Altare Dei program. It is not appropriate to work on both programs.

There are currently no Eastern-rite Catholic Churches within the boundaries of the Diocese of Kalamazoo, but we recognize that there are families with a strong Eastern-rite Catholic tradition that may be interested in this award. Please contact the CCOS Chair for more information.
