Catholic Scouting at 1310 West Main Street, Lexington, KY 40508-2048 US - Home

The Diocese of Lexington Catholic Committee on Scouting provides support for both Boy Scout and Girl Scout programs throughout the diocese.

The values taught in Scouting are the same found in the Gospels. Scouting is an effective way to help Catholic youths do their duty to God and to their country. Scouting builds character and teaches devotion to God in an environment that provides wholesome fun under the guidance of strong adult role models. The scouting programs provide a wonderful channel to involve youth in the life of Catholic parishes.

Scouts from all over the Diocese of Lexington gathered together on March 7, 2010, to celebrate Diocesan Scout Sunday at the Cathedral of Christ the King, Lexington.  After Mass, Bishop Ronald Gainer and Fr. Mike Weglicki presented religious medals and certificates to over 50 Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts who had completed the religious program for their age level.  Click here to enjoy a slide show of photos from the event.
