Patches
Duty to God Patch
The 12th point of the Scout Law states “A Scout is Reverent”. In recent years, as the Catholic Church has more fully developed its apostolate to youth, it has become known as Youth Ministry. Scouting IS a significant part of this ministry.
To commemorate the NCCS initiative to expand the outreach of Scouting to more sponsoring organizations and youth this patch has been made available for use by local DCCS and BSA Scout groups.

- youth who are working on or have completed a religious emblem
- youth and adult members of a Pope Paul VI unit
- youth and adults participating in a retreat event
- youth and adult members of a National Gold Medallion or regional finalist unit
- participants in the St. George Trek
- each person contacted to start a new unit such as clergy, laypersons, KC members, etc
- adult members completing training
