Scouter Development Training Course

The Greensburg Diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting will offer a special training course to those 18 years of age and older. This course is designed to help Scouters come to a better understanding of the role of religious faith in their lives and to use Scouting as a form of youth ministry. (This popular course is offered each year in September at the Diocesan Catholic Retreatoree). Through a series of guided reflections, both the individual and the group examines 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 course will be held at Our Lady of Grace Church in Greensburg on Saturday, March 10 from 9:00 - 3:00pm in the upper hall. (Please park in the lower lot). The cost is $10 which includes materials, continental breakfast and lunch. Registration by calling Glenda Sekerchak at 724-446-5197 or e-mail gsekerchak@dioceseofgreensburg.org.
