a Scout is Reverent. . .

In troop 646 each scout has many opportunities to grow in every aspect of his life and one of the most important ways a scout will ever grow is in his faith. The Office of Catholic Scouting  offers two religious programs, each building a scout's connection with God. We as a Catholic Boy Scout troop have the opportunity - take a step and grow in your FAITH!

•  AD ALTARE DEI
  

The purpose of the Ad Altare Dei ( to the altar of God) program is to help Catholic Boy Scouts develop a fully Christian way of life in the faith community.  The program is organized in chapters based on the seven Sacraments.  The seven Sacraments are a primary means toward spiritual growth.  The most important aspect of the program is that the Scout grows in his spiritual experience of his relationship to God and the church.
