How awards & patches can be earned in our diocese
National & D.O.S.P. Catholic Religious Recognition awards must be administered by adults who are:
- Current D.O.S.P. Level 2 & Safe Environment trained individuals, and
- Trained Consultants by the Catholic Scouting for Girls committee will hold training October 16th at 9:00 am-11:00 am at Nativity Catholic Church, 705. E. Brandon Blvd., Brandon. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
