State Scouting Program

The Louisiana State Scouting Program consists of five parts:

1. Retention of Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Venturing units that are in danger of folding due to the loss of their chartering partner;
2. The creation of new Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Venturing units to bring the Scouting program to underserved areas;
3. The promotion and sponsorship of the Catholic Religious Emblems program;
4. The promotion of increased volunteerism in the Scouting program by our Brother Knights, at the unit, district and/or diocesan levels;
5. Recognition of Brother Knights who have given years of service to the Boy Scouts of America though a new state award, the Francis J. Parater Award.

The primary focus of the State Scouting Program is the programs of the Boy Scouts of America. Councils who are interested in the programs of the Girl Scouts of the USA should contact the State Scouting Chairman for information.

The Scouting Chairman is Darryl Barrios.
