Diocese of Evansville Catholic Committee on Scouting
The Evansville Diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting (DCCS) is a committee affiliated with the Diocese of Evansville Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry serving the Buffalo Trace, Hoosier Trails & Crossroads of America Councils of the Boy Scouts of America (Refer to the map below). The Committee is dedicated to promoting “Duty to God” at each level of Scouting. We are affiliated with the National Catholic Committee on Scouting® (NCCS), an advisory to the Boy Scouts of America, and Region (#7) of the NCCS.
Each year the DCCS holds several events to promote Catholic Scouting. These events include Scout Retreats, Scouter Development, Religious Emblems, Counselor Training, and a Youth & Adult Religious Emblem Recognition Ceremony. We are able to accomplish these events because of the many dedicated leaders who donate their time and energy to providing quality programs to youth.

Catholic Girl Scout Programs
Girl Scout troops in the Diocese of Evansville have the opportunity to partner with the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) to incorporate Catholic faith formation into their scouting experience.
The National Catholic Committee on Girl Scouts and Camp Fire (NCCGSCF), a constitutive member of NFCYM, provides Catholic resources, religious recognition programs, and patches designed specifically for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire youth. These programs help girls grow in their Catholic faith while developing leadership, service, and other skills through scouting.
Troop leaders are encouraged to explore the available Catholic religious recognition programs and patches through NFCYM.
For more information or assistance with offering these programs in the Diocese of Evansville, contact:
