GIRL SCOUT RENEWAL DAY   RELIGIOUS AWARDS   Annually the River Bluffs Catholic Committee on Girl Scouting hosts a renewal for each age level of Girl Scouts.  During the renewal day the Brownies complete some of the requirements for their “Family of God” religious award while the Juniors work on their “I Live My Faith” and the Cadettes work on “Mary, The First Disciple” formerly the Marian Medal.  Not all requirements are completed for any one award.   While a Girl Scout does not have to be Catholic to attend this day of religious reflection, most discussions and the prayer service include a Catholic perspective and a Catholic theme.  In fact sometimes a reconciliation service and Mass are a part of the day’s activities, depending on the availability of a priest.  If you would like more information or have questions about this event or other Catholic religious awards for girls or adults, please contact the Office of Youth Ministry, 618-235-9601, ext. 146.  Girl Scouts of all Councils and all Dioceses are invited to attend this event.              Local Girl Scouts worked on some of the requirements for  their Family of God, I Live My Faith and Mary, The First Disciple religious medals during GIRL SCOUT RENEWAL DAY held at Cathedral Grade School in Belleville.
