International Spirit

Scouts with Catholic backgrounds may choose to participate in the International Awareness Recognition program from the National Catholic Committee on Scouting. It’s a great way to keep your Scouts who have earned their Religious Knot coming back and active with the “A Scout is Reverent” portion of your program.


Adults may want to work on earning the International Scouter Square Knot. This is a great knot to earn because it helps spread so much awareness while doing it.


Organize a donation to the World Friendship Fund. This could be a program similar to the Tsunami Aid patch programs in both 2011 and 2012.  In April 2012 I noticed Steve had updated patches that said “Three Harbors Council” instead of “Southeast” available for donation.
