Subject: Altare Dei session beginning at St. Thomas More – first meeting on September 20, 3 pm
Catholic Scouts (and parents/guardians) interested in earning the Ad Altare Dei during 2009-2010 religious awards cycle:
What, When, Where:
An Ad Altare Dei (AAD) orientation and introduction meeting for Boy Scouts (and their parents) will be held at St Thomas More (STM) on Sunday, September 20 from 3 pm to 5:15 pm at the school cafeteria. Signs will be posted; the school is located behind church.
Key points:
- Eligibility: Catholic Boy Scouts who have completed the 6th grade (regardless of troop or parish).
- Scouts: please attend in uniform as this a scouting activity, and you are setting an example for other Catholic scouts.
- I will end this session on time for those who wish to STM 5:30 pm mass.
- The first 30 minutes or so sets the expectations of the program – I would ask parents to stay for that part – and then jump I will into Section One: Introduction.
- Also, please bring your Scout Handbook, bible, pen/pencil, and AAD Scout Manual. (Note: The AAD Scout Manual is available at the Boy Scout Shop – don’t buy the Counselor’s and Review Guide, or online at https://www.praypub.org/praypub/ProductList.asp. If you don’t yet have the AAD Scout Manual, or just want to learn about the program, no problem, just ring paper too and prepare to take notes so you can capture requirements to fill in later.
Key dates to put on calendars now–additional AAD meetings will also be scheduled:
