Catholic-Sponsored Units – Recharter 2023-2024

We are providing a flyer with important information regarding Catholic-Sponsored units.

NOTE: ALL CATHOLIC-SPONSORED UNITS LOCATED IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF LOS ANGELES ARE REQUIRED TO USE THE RECHARTER FORMS THAT WERE APPROVED BY THE ARCHDIOCESE.

It is important to understand that the Archdiocese of Los Angeles continues to fully support Catholic Scouting and in fact, encourages all Pastors to welcome Catholic Scouting into their parishes. But it is also important to understand that the Archdiocese REQUIRES that all Catholic-sponsored Units use the Recharter form specifically designed for the Catholic Church.

The following is a summary of the rechartering information that was presented by Mrs. Maureen Brown, Chairperson of the Catholic Committee on Scouting for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Please read this carefully and be sure to comply with these instructions.

August 2023 Roundtable Recap

The main topic of the August 2023 Roundtable on August 16th, 2023 was “Unit Program Planning”.

Upcoming activities have been posted as separate posts here on this website (2023 Fall Camporee, 2023 Good Scout Dinner, Pio Pico Scouts BSA Position-Specific Training), please check the rest of our Announcements page for more.

Our first main session covered the following unit “Program Support Resources” items and we are sharing them with you here so you can use as resources:

2023 Fall Camporee

Pio Pico District will be hosting our 2023 Fall Camporee on October 6-8, 2023 at Prado Regional Park, 16700 Euclid Ave, Chino, CA 91708.

The cost is $30 per person. Units can now register on the Council website at https://scoutingevent.com/033-PioPicoCamporee.

To participate in the upcoming Camporee with the captivating theme of Ancient Egypt, we kindly request that you register as a Scout Unit rather than individual registrations. This will help us streamline the process and ensure a seamless experience for everyone. Upon successfully registering your unit, a comprehensive email containing essential information for the Camporee will be sent your way.

We’d like to emphasize that there won’t be any day-use option available for this event. Hence, we kindly ask you to include all attendees, including Scouts and accompanying leaders, within your unit’s registration. Let’s embark on this thrilling adventure through time together and make lasting memories at the Ancient Egypt-themed 2023 Fall Camporee!
