What activities does the DCCS in the Allentown Diocese sponsor?
For Boy Scouts and Venturers, the Catholic Scout Retreat occurs during a weekend of April, and is a three-day, two-night camp-out. The programing is both spiritual and fun featuring tests in Scouting skills and religious reflections. Confessions and counseling are offered anytime during the retreat. The retreat opens on Friday night with a campfire. The main events are on Saturday, concluding at night with Mass and a campfire. Scouts are expected to be in camp by 8 pm on Friday and generally can leave by 11 am on Sunday. All meals are provided at a low cost. Scout Sunday activities are always a big part of Scouting in our diocese. Each year a special Scout Sunday will occur either on the first Sunday in February.
