Pray the Rosary Patch Series

Praying the Rosary Reference

How to pray the Rosary: www.tldm.org/misc/rosary.htm
National Catholic Committee on Scouting

The Rosary Patch Series is focused on the different Mysteries of the Holy Rosary and Pray the Rosary.

This is an opportunity for youth and adults alike to learn more about their faith. The Rosary patch is considered a Religious Activity and Cub Scouts will receive a patch they may apply to their red vest upon its completion. There are a total of five patches in the series that may be earned. Please note that this activity is not a Religious Emblem and scouts will not receive a Religious Knot after completing the requirements.

Please turn in your completed activity sheets to your den leader. Patches will be awarded at monthly Pack Nights.

Trail Trekkers - An Exciting Hiking Program Patch Series

Trail Trekker Program Guide

The Trail Trekkers Program offers a series of day hikes which can be completed by Cub Scouts and their families. The hikes may be completed as individual families or as a den or pack activity. These are opportunities for outdoor adventures that are high in “boy appeal” that allow a boy and his family to learn about the world around them; and they include a wide range of activities. The hikes are located throughout South Eastern Wisconsin and each hike has its own appeal. Some are more physically demanding and more appropriate for Webelos-age boys. Others can be accomplished by any age group. Whichever hikes you choose, please take the time to enjoy the natural environment around you. Do some research on the plants, trees and animals that live in the area, and find out about the geological features that are so prevalent in our area. By knowing more about our environment, you will get a better perspective and enhanced appreciation for how things work together, and how important all things are to the total picture. Best of all, you’ll get out! Keeping the “Outing in Scouting!

One of the exciting aspects of the Trail Trekkers Program are the embroidered patches that are awarded to all successful scouts after completing the requirements of each hike. However, the earning of the patch should not be the reason for completing a hike, rather a Trekkers patch should be a memento to show that one has enjoyed a family Scouting event. When worn on the red vest, the basic Trail Trekkers patch is surrounded by smaller hike patches, showing an ever-growing pattern of fun. All patches must be earned by following the directions in the Trail Trekker Program Guide.

Hikes may be completed anytime of year. Please report completion of your hikes to your den leader. Patches will be awarded at monthly Pack Nights.
