Wolf Cub Scout of Catholic Faith.

complete the requirements before
starting third grade.

help the Cub develop a personal
relationship with Jesus. With the
parents' active assistance and
participation in this program, it is
hoped that the Cub will come to see
Jesus as a real person and his friend.
|
| Program Objectives |
- To support the role
of the parents as the primary catechists
of their children.
- To have the Scout
identify Jesus as a real person and as
his friend.
- To foster early
family religious involvement.
- To be a stepping
stone toward Parvuli Dei and the other
religious emblems, when the parents are
involved.
- To serve as a
catalyst to draw the parents into a
deeper involvement with the church,
through the child.
|
| Requirements |
- Each Cub have his own
Activity Book.
- The book is designed
for the Cub and his parent or guardian
to work together.
|
| Program Completion |
- When the Cub
completes all steps, he is presents the
book to his parish priest or the
priest's representative and the book is
reviewed with the Cub.
- After the priest or
representative signs the book, it is
sent to the diocesan chaplain for final
approval.
|
| Presentation |
- The emblem and knot
may be presented at a diocesan or parish
ceremony.
|
| Scout's Role |
- Actively work on the
activities with his parents or
guardians.
- Keep the Religious
Emblems Counselor informed of his
progress.
|
| Parent's Role |
- Actively work on the
activities with their son. He may need
your help with Bible readings and
getting information.
- Keep the Religious
Emblems Counselor informed of the Cub's
progress.
|
| Suggested Time Requirements |
- One to ninety day(s).
- Although the book
could be completed in four to six hours,
the goal of earning a religious emblem
is to help the Cub develop a personal
relationship with Jesus, so it is
suggested that steps be spread over
several weeks. This will help the Cub
understand that this is a long-term
commitment, not a one-time project.
