Diocese of Nashville Catholic Committee on Scouting - International Catholic Awareness Medallion (for Adults)

International Catholic Awareness Medallion (for Adults)

Overview

The medallion and patch insignia of The International Catholic Conference of Scouting (ICCS) is being offered to any adults in recognition of demonstrated awareness of Scouting in the Catholic Church throughout the world.

The International Catholic Conference of Scouting provides an opportunity for its members to meet together as friends in the Catholic Church. It links the Catholic Church and the Scouting Movement all over the world. It contributes to the complete education of young people through Scouting from the perspective of the Catholic faith. It develops and enhances the spiritual dimension of Scouting in the World Scout Movement.

The Pope appoints priests to work with the International Catholic Conference of Scouting as ecclesiastical assistants (chaplains). This recognition activity is an ongoing special project of the International Committee of the National Catholic Committee on Scouting (USA). Proceeds will further the work of the International Catholic Conference of Scouting and help enable representation by NCCS chaplains at ICCS meetings and NCCS chaplain support at international scouting events.
