The purpose of the Diocese of Austin Catholic Committee on Scouting (DCCS) is to provide Catholic Scouts continued education in the Catholic faith and support the growth of Catholic scouting units in scouting organizations.
Youth are invited to earn age-appropriate religious emblems by completing a formation program including a workbook. Upon completion of the program, they are invited to attend an annual Recognition Mass with the Bishop. We also host a variety of events throughout the year including adult trainings, youth retreats, Rosary Patches, Footsteps of the Saints programs and other religious activities.
