Diocese of Trenton - Catholic Committees on Scouting

The 50th Annual Retreat

"UNQUENCHABLE FIRE - THE SPIRIT WITHIN"

Our theme this year celebrates the Spirit of Faith within each of us. It is a Fire that has burnt for 50 years of our retreats – and continues on unquenchably. Don’t be surprised if you get a campsite visitor Friday night to start you on your way to our opening campfire. Then there are songs, skits, and scouting fun – and you might learn just a little of what is in store for you on Saturday.

Next morning opens with a flag ceremony and you will soon start on your weekend’s journey of faith and fun. You will experience workshops, skits, talks, games, and a little prayer – all written by fellow scouts for you.

On Sunday morning we celebrate Mass overlooking the lake and the rising sun. As you pack your gear after Mass, you’re sure to have many great memories of this weekend.

What’s really in store for scouts who join us this year? We’ve said too much already. You will have to attend and discover the rest for yourself! Our Youth Staff has planned a new and unique program this year, and they look forward to welcoming you! See you on September 23rd!
