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

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.

So I find the Panera's bag on the kitchen counter this morning and there's a plain bagel in it. Hmm, I think, Ni or San must have grabbed something at Panera's last night and left a bagel for the Grumpy One.

Turns out San cleaned out her car yesterday and this bag and bagel was from early last week. The kitchen counter was a more convenient dropping spot than the trash can, three steps removed. Week-old bagels are rather dense. Trust me.
