DIOCESAN CATHOLIC COMMITTEE ON SCOUTING

 
 

About Us

 

The Catholic committee on Scouting (CCS) of the diocese of Cleveland is a church committee of concerned Catholic lay people and clergy who see as their mission the constructive use of the program of the Boy Scouts of America as a viable form of youth ministry with the Catholic youth of our diocese. 

 

The diocesan committee is served by the National Catholic Committee on Scouting.  It reports to the bishop through the diocesan Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry.  It seeks to sustain and strengthen the relationship between the local BSA councils and the Catholic parishes in the diocese of Cleveland.
