It is with great pleasure that we announce the formation of the Buckeye Council Catholic Committee on Scouting. Buckeye Council covers a large territory reaching into five different Dioceses. This can make for a communications nightmare. The Dioceses and related Districts are as follows: |
|
|
|
Diocese of Youngstown: Seneca, Westark , Wapakonachee and Sandy Beaver-Ohio. |
|
Diocese of Wheeling: Sandy Beaver- West Virginia. |
|
Diocese of Cleveland: Northern Killbuck - Wayne County. |
|
Diocese of Columbus: Southern Killbuck - Holmes County, Western Netawotwes.- Tuscawaras County. |
|
Diocese of Steubenville: Eastern Netawotwes - Carroll County. |
|
|
|
Initial goals of the Catholic Committee on Scouting are |
|
|
|
ü To have Committee Member(s) from each District also sit on their respective Diocesan Committee on Scouting acting as a liaison between the two Committees. |
|
|
|
ü To provide a better flow of information between the Diocese, Council, District and units on events, classes, training sessions, etc. |
|
|
|
We hope to provide information on: |
|
Ø The Religious Emblems Award Programs. |
|
Ø Chaplain Aide Training Programs. |
|
Ø Council and Diocesan camp outs and retreats that have religious themes. |
|
Ø Diocesan related community service projects and missions. |
|
Ø National Catholic Committee on Scouting activities and events at places like Philmont, National Catholic Youth Convention, etc. |
|
|
|
If you know of or have any events or classes scheduled through the Diocese of Youngstown or one of the other associated Dioceses’, please contact Jennifer McNeely @ 330-580-4272 x 140, so we can publish your information. |

On April 22, at St. Columba Cathedral in Youngstown many scouts and adults received their religious medals. Along with that we are pleased that two of our units were given the Pope Paul VI awards: St. Paul Catholic Church in North Canton and St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Canton. Congratulations to all who worked to receive their religious awards!! |
