Scouter Development: Lay Apostolate Formation for Scouters

The Scouter Development: Lay Apostolate Formation for Scouting program is designed to help Scouters come to a better understanding of the role of religious faith in their lives. The program is designed to be experiential and not overly didactic. Through a series of guided reflections, both the individual and the group examine Scripture passages to ascertain how God is calling each to respond.

The Scouter does not have to know any specific doctrines, nor is an extensive knowledge of Scripture presumed. What is of critical importance, however, is that the Scouter be reflective and be willing to share those reflections with others.

The program has four component parts or dimensions. These are: the call to leadership, the call to holiness, the call to conversion, and the call to worship.

The Diocese of Phoenix Catholic Committee on Scouting will be presenting Scouter Development on Saturday, March 13, 2010 at the Diocesan Center, 5th St. & Monroe, Phoenix from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. Contact vice-chair Herb Pierpan for more information.
