Scout Sunday Mass

The Boy Scouts celebrated. At the Mass the Scouts served as the greeters, ushers, and altar severs. Also present at the Mass were the Cub Scouts from Pack 242. Scout Sunday is where the Cub Scouts are awarded their Emblem of Light Awards. They also get awarded their duty to God Awards. The Boy Scouts of America annually celebrates its founding on February 8, 1910, based on the program started by Lord Baden Powell in England on August 1, 1907. Scout Sunday was added to the Scout celebration in the middle 1940s. Scout Sunday is always the Sunday proceeding February 8th, unless the 8th is a Sunday, in which case the 8th would be Scout Sunday. The Saturday following February 8th is Scout Sabbath.
