CCOS

2025 Retreat is Coming!! Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 20, 2025.

Youth Award Retreats

Each year our Archdiocese holds retreats for the scouts. The day will reinforce each child’s faith, as nurtured by their respective scouting programs. We will grow in our Catholic Christian beliefs by listening, sharing, praying, singing, and playing. The day’s activities are designed to jump start a scout’s endeavors in working towards one of the CCOS awards.

Important Notice – Youth Protection

The Archdiocese has published an amended policy which all Cub Scout and Boy Scout units chartered within the Archdiocese must follow. This policy contains minimum standards which must be followed for all overnight activities that include youth under the age of 13, as well as a guideline for protecting all youth.

Help Support CCOS!

Each year the Archdiocese of Santa Fe Catholic Committee on Scouting holds several events to promote Scouts growing in their Catholic Faith.

We can accomplish these events because of the many dedicated leaders that donate their time and energy to providing a quality program. Please see below on how you can help our youth!

Announcing a New Award – Pillars of Faith

We are proud to announce that we have a new award available to all scouts. This award is presented to those scouts that have received all possible religious emblems throughout their scouting career as a youth.
