6:00 PM - 9:00 AM
Camp Lazarus
4422 Columbus Pike, Delaware

Before starting this program, registered Catholic Boy Scouts must complete the sixth grade and not yet be 18 years old. It assumes that through formal religious education, each Scout is receiving a solid foundation of religious knowledge. They use the knowledge of their faith, in the activities found in the seven steps of the program, one for each of the seven Sacraments. The varied program is filled with word puzzles, word codes, discussions, skits, role playing and posters. The program will also include a tour of the Josephinum and attendance to the Catholic Camporee.
This program leads Scouts to greater participation in the Church, while developing new meaning and better understanding of their faith.
NOTE - Orientation is August 26, 2012 7pm at Our Lady of Peace 20 E. Dominion Blvd., Columbus, OH 43214. Registration and fees are due at this time. The full program will be on December 7-9 at Camp Lazarus.

This program discusses Church-related ministries and vocations and examines, in the real world, how being a Christian may affect our daily life. Participants have opportunities to evaluate their personal talents and abilities in light of a possible choice of lifestyle, vocation or ministry and to share their faith with one another. In this Diocese, the program is available to any Catholic who is a registered Venturer, or a Boy Scout who has started 9th grade and has already earned the Ad Altare Dei emblem. If you meet these prerequisites and are interested in this program, please contact the CCS. This Program is by invitation only. Each year, selected participants are invited by December 20.

St. Joseph Church
5757 State Route 383 N.E, Somerset
This program was developed as a gift from the Diocese of Columbus for the Bicentennial Anniversary of the State of Ohio in 2003. It provides a terrific opportunity for any male or female, youth or adult, who is at least 11 years old and registered in Scouting. Gravestone rubbing, games and a museum tour are among the favorite activities of this Saturday program, conducted at St. Joseph Church, the site where the first Mass in Ohio was celebrated, near Somerset. Camping is available Friday night. Small group discussions, led by older Scouts, explore the growth of the Catholic Church, from its beginnings in Maryland to its expansion west, across the Appalachian Mountains and into the Ohio Territory. In each of four program steps, discussion focuses on the biographies of three key leaders who sparked the flame of Catholicism in our new Country, as well as the great state of Ohio.

6:00 PM - 9:00 AM
Camp Lazarus
4422 Columbus Pike, Delaware
This is the very first, of all emblems, from all faiths. It typically takes a school year to complete, but a local option completes more than 90% of the requirements during one weekend in December.
Before starting this program, registered Catholic Boy Scouts must complete the sixth grade and not yet be 18 years old. It assumes that through formal religious education, each Scout is receiving a solid foundation of religious knowledge. They use the knowledge of their faith, in the activities found in the seven steps of the program, one for each of the seven Sacraments. The varied program is filled with word puzzles, word codes, discussions, skits, role playing and posters. The program will also include a tour of the Josephinum and attendance to the Catholic Camporee.
This program leads Scouts to greater participation in the Church, while developing new meaning and better understanding of their faith.
NOTE - Orientation is August 26, 2012 7pm at Our Lady of Peace 20 E. Dominion Blvd., Columbus, OH 43214. Registration and fees are due at this time. The full program will be on December 7-9 at Camp Lazarus.

Pope Pius XII Religious Emblem Program

7:30 PM - 10:00 AM
Top of the Caves (Lodge)
26780 Chapel Ridge Rd, South Bloomingville
Over the years, the Pope Pius XII emblem has been the most enjoyed of the four religious emblem programs because it includes co-ed, adult-like discussions, selected college student facilitators, a winter hike, a special Mass, no workbook or written requirements and wonderful Winter Lodge accommodations, in the Scenic Hocking Hills area. This program discusses Church-related ministries and vocations and examines, in the real world, how being a Christian may affect our daily life. Participants have opportunities to evaluate their personal talents and abilities in light of a possible choice of lifestyle, vocation or ministry and to share their faith with one another. In this Diocese, the program is available to any Catholic who is a registered Venturer, or a Boy Scout who has started 9th grade and has already earned the Ad Altare Dei emblem. If you meet these prerequisites and are interested in this program, please contact the CCS. This Program is by invitation only. Each year, selected participants are invited by December 20.
Cost: $40-$50
