Welcome to the website for the Diocese of Peoria Catholic Committee on Scouting. Feel encouraged to direct comments about how this site can be of more help to you to the e-mail contact at the bottom of the page. May God bless you and give you His Peace.
The Diocese of Peoria Catholic Committee on Scouting exists to promote the formation of youth and adults consistent with the teachings of the Catholic Church and in association with the National Catholic Committee on Scouting [NCCS] and the National Federation of Catholic Youth Mininstries [NFCYM].
Through these associations we hope to help teach and live the Faith and life of Jesus Christ using the programs of the Boys Scouts of America, the Girl Scouts of America, the American Heritage Girls, and the Campfire programs for girls and boys.
We hope you find this site useful in locating resources and support in Scouting, in Campfire and in the Catholic Faith in Christ.

For adults who participate in the programs of the BSA there are the Bronze Pelican and the St. George emblems. For adults who serve within the programs of the American Heritage Girls, GSUSA or Camp Fire there exist the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and the St. Anne emblems.
