Yes, garden-variety RC. Bill didn’t earn any of the Boy Scouting medals. He once had a Pius VI patch, in Cub Scouts. Our Cubs will probably get one this year; we have a gung-ho religious awards coordinator.

Thanks for the suggestions of other badges and pins he can get!

I give advice about how 'meaningful' the right hand, 'temporary patch' pocket can be that's probably more reflective of me overthinking things than anything else.

The Insignia Guide says that a Scout (or leader) may wear any Scouting patch on the right hand pocket. If you've been to Philmont, it's generally useless information, because you'll wear a Philmont arrowhead hanging from the right pocket button and it covers up the right hand pocket. You can't see the temporary patch.

Otherwise, I suggest that Eagle Scouts go back through their Camporee Patches, summer camp patches, and all other patches they have, and select on that's meaningful to them for some reason - not simply the last one they received, or the most attractive one, or the 'biggest one' (like Sea Base or something). For example, a patch from the year of summer camp where you first realized you were going to work toward the rank of Eagle Scout. A patch from the OA Ordeal you went through with your best friend. A patch from the Camporee where your patrol won some District contest for fire-building, or cooking. Your first summer camp. A patch you can look at and say: "That event was an important step on my Trail to Eagle Scout."

A lot of Scouts still show up with a blank right pocket instead of sewing something on. My advice to Bill is, don't waste that space for the Eagle Scout Court of Honor. Wear something meaningful there.

The National Catholic Committee on Scouting webpage is a good place to start. Your Council should have someone who chairs a committee on Catholic Scouting, but that position is generally centered on relationships more than potential activities and awards, so it's unclear how much he or she will know about specific NCCS programs.

Here's a starting place for NCCS activities and awards.

Note that these programs and awards, such as the International Catholic Awareness medical, or The Footsteps of the American Saints Program (currently thirteen different activities and patches, with a new one added annually), may be earned by Scouts and non-Scouts, both boys and girls. The Rosary Series may be earned by youth and adults.

You could have members of the TC brood from grades 1-12 work on the same Footsteps of the American Saints Program at the same time. Older youth simply have to complete more requirements to complete the program.
