The Spirit Alive...

About The Emblem: The Spirit Alive program is designed to assist the young woman in discovering how the Holy Spirit moves with her life, calling her to greater participation in ministry of the Church. Each chapter has three sections: research, dialogue and activities. Exercises in the research section can be done alone or shared in a group. The requirements in the dialogue section are carried out with the help of a counselor/advisor. The activities are designed to help the young woman apply what she has learned for her own personal growth. A journal, Bible and a copy of the documents of Vatican II are necessary. A counselor guide is also available. Eligibility: Registered Senior Girl Scout of Catholic Faith. The Girl Scout must be between 15-17 years old. The Spirit Alive program is the official recognition program of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States for the Senior age level of the Girl Scouts and for Horizon Club members of Camp Fire, Inc. The Spirit Alive is designed to be administered and supervised by the diocesan or parish youth director, diocesan chaplain or other authorized administrator as determined by the Diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting.

Requirements: Each Senior Girl Scout must have her own Activity Book. This book can be purchased at your local Girl Scout Shop

Program Completion: Upon completion of the program the application form is signed by the applicant, the adult counselor and by the priest moderator for the group. The parent/guardian will need to send the application at the back of the book to the diocesan committee for final approval. Youth applications must be received by no later than December 31st.
