Religious Emblems

Duty to God is not only part of the Cub Scout Promise, but a big part of our effort in Pack 811.  All Cub Scouts are able to earn one of two Religious Emblems, The Light of Christ and the Parvuli Dei.  Scouts who complete any of these two programs are also entitled to wear the BSA Religious knot.

                                                            

The Cub Scout emblems are to be worked on with the family. It is not a den activity. The emblem should take 2-3 months to complete.  The Cub Scout needs to complete the work book associated the emblem they are trying to achieve.

The Light of Christ (for Tigers and Wolves) and Parvuli Dei (for Bears and Weblos) workbooks must be completed and reviewed for a submission to be deemed complete.  I will schedule sessions to review and validate that all the requirements of the workbook are complete.

Den Leaders will provide a count of how many workbooks they will need for their den.  Please provide to Joseph Stambersky by July 15 so the workbooks can be ordered and distributed.

The deadline to complete the Religious Emblem booklets this year is September 30, 2014.  After they are completed, they will be reviewed and candidate names will be submitted to the Diocese.   The emblem is typically awarded at a Orange County Council ceremony (scheduled for Jan 24, 2015).

Pack 811 Cub Scouts Earn Religious Emblems


On January 26th, Fr. Michael Hanifin, Chaplin for the National Catholic Committee on Scouting, celebrated Mass with Catholic Scouts and families from Orange County, and medals were presented to Scouts who earned religious emblems.

To encourage Scouts to fulfill their Duty to God, two programs for Catholic Cub Scouts – Light of Christ and Parvuli Dei – help boys strengthen their relationship with Christ and the Church, and develop greater appreciation for God’s creation and the importance of serving others.

Pack 811 proudly congratulates our Cub Scouts for earning their well-deserved emblems, and for their parents and families who supported them!

ORANGE, Calif. Feb. 10, 2011 —The Catholic Committee on Scouting for the Diocese of Orange congratulates Cub Scout Pack 811 of St. Angela Merici Church, Brea, on winning the 2010 National Gold Medallion Award for Region 11.

The Gold Medallion Award program was established to recognize outstanding Catholic Scouting units in each of the fifteen Episcopal Regions of the United States. National Gold Medallion winners epitomize units that excel at providing youth with quality programs including religious activities, religious emblems participation, outdoor activities, and special events that encompass the religious, vocational, and educational aspects of Scouting under Catholic auspices.

Region 11 includes California, Nevada, Hawaii, and the Territory of Guam.

“This is our third National Gold Medallion Award, which is unprecedented for any Scouting unit,” said Jim Root, Religious Emblem Coordinator for Pack 811. “Our Pack is also a three time recipient of the Bishop’s Award of Excellence and has the distinction of earning the Pope Paul VI National Quality Unit Award for over a decade. This could not be possible without the dedication of our leaders and parents to providing a quality Scouting program for our youth.”

Scouts and Pack Receive Religious Awards.

As part of their “Duty to God,” 15 Cub Scouts from Pack 811 earned Light of Christ and Parvuli Dei religious emblems.  Tigers and Wolves worked with their parents on the Light of Christ program, focusing on their relationship with Christ, the Church, and their families.  Bears completed the Parvuli Dei or “Children of God” program, reflecting on God’s creation and providing service to others.  Emblems were awarded at a ceremony for all Orange County Cub Scouts, Scouts, and Venturers.  Those receiving emblems may now wear a purple knot on all future Scouting uniforms.  The highlight of the ceremony was an inspirational speech by Evan Hunsberger, whose Eagle Scout project (considered one of the best ever), was the publication of a revised devotional book Strength for Service to God and Country for service men and women.  After 9-11, the Pentagon ordered a million copies for our troops.

          

 
At the same ceremony, the Catholic Committe on Scouting for the Diocese of Orange also honored Pack 811 with the Pope Paul VI Quality Catholic Unit Award.  This year, the award was given to four Catholic Scouting units in Orange County that provide exceptional, all-around recruitment, training, educational, and religious programs for their youth and adults.
