 International
Awareness
The International Awareness program was developed by the International
Catholic Conference on Scouting to celebrate the role of Scouting in the
Catholic Church throughout the world, by providing an opportunity for
participants to meet together as friends in the Catholic Church. In this
program, Scouts learn more about Scouts and Catholics living in other
countries, and attend a Divine Liturgy or a Mass celebrated in a Catholic
Church of a different national background or of a different rite from
their own. This is a non-restrictive activity and may be earned by any
youth or adult, male or female, Catholic or other.
For more information, please contact

user friendly for any family, Troop, Crew or other group in its endeavors
to build camaraderie and a better understanding of the life of John Paul
II. A five-inch patch is earned by completing the requirements for one’s
current age, within these categories: first through fifth grade; sixth
through twelfth grade; and adult.
