Boards of Review

2010 Religious Emblems Boards of Review and Scout Mass

A Word from the Boy Scout Emblems Chair, Tommy Treat

The Boards of Review for the AAD, Pius, Adults and Unit Awards recommendations will be held on February 27 at Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Flowery Branch, Georgia at 9:30 am and March 13 in Roswell, Georgia at St. Andrew Catholic Church at 9:00 am. These are the only two boards we have scheduled before the Scout Mass so please have everyone at one of these boards. The scouts should bring their workbooks completely filled out and signed and leave the appolication in the book - be sure it has all signatures on the application also.

They will also need to bring the fees for the medals (check new prices on our website) in cash or check made out to the Catholic Committee on Scouting, a pre-addressed stamped envelope with the questionnaire filled out and the envelope sealed to turn in. Please send Tommy Treat a list of all your scouts meeting the boards and medal prior to the boards so they can be scheduled between 9 and 12 noon. Include the email address of the counselor so we may notify you of the times.

Names meeting the Northeast Georgia boards should send same information to Phil Krajec. All Adult and Unit recommendations will be forwarded to Tommy Treat to meet the Atlanta Committee Boards not later than February 1, 2010 for review before the boards.

The Scout Mass will be held at St. Andrew Catholic Church in Roswell, Georgia on April 24 with the Auxilliary Bishop Luis Zarama presiding at 1 p.m. All scouts should be present to register as a unit with your counselor not later than 11:30 am in case the Bishop wants to meet with the scouts. We will line up for procession into mass at 12:30 p.m. If a scout cannot attend the mass please let Tommy Treat know so their award can be held out and sent to the counselor for presentation at their home parish. A reception will follow immediately after the mass for all attendees and families.

If any units or leaders have any questions please e-mail Tommy Treat as soon as possible to solve any problems that may arise. We look forward to a great Scout Mass for 2010 and thank all the scouts for their participation and also the counselors for working with the scouts and parents for your backing of the scouting religious emblems programs. Gob Bless.
