Religious Activities Releases Jubilee 2025 Activity Patch

A new Religious Activity will be released on December 24, 2024 – the Jubilee 2025 Activity Patch. Pope Francis declared 2025 a Jubilee Year in 2022 after the COVID pandemic. He wanted to give us hope for the future. “We must fan the flame of hope that has been given us and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart and far-sighted vision. The forthcoming Jubilee can contribute greatly to restoring a climate of hope and trust as a prelude to the renewal and rebirth that we so urgently desire..."
The new activity patch asks participants to pray the Jubilee Prayer, learn about the logo and learn what a Jubilee Year is and how often it can be proclaimed and other requirements. This activity patch will only be available until January 6, 2026, when the Jubilee Year ends.
In addition to the activity patch, Scouts and Scouters are encouraged to find out if their local Diocese/Archdiocese or Eparchy is holding any special activities throughout the year.

Eucharistic Adoration is when Jesus, in the form of the Consecrated Host, is placed inside the Monstrance in a clear window for us to see. Jesus is seen in the form of a white host, a white circle, in the clear window at the center of the Monstrance. It is a special time of prayer before the Eucharistic presence of Jesus. Adoration is showing that we know God is truly God, our Savior, and the creator of everything that exists. https://nccs-bsa.org/religious-activities/faith-series/

Do you know anything about St. Simon Stock? He received the Brown Scapular during a vision of Our Lady. This is how our devotion to Our Lady of Mount Carmel began. this devotion to Mary helps us understand the meaning of the scapular and the power it gives the wearer. Entrusting our lives to Our Lady through the Brown Scapular is a strong devotion. https://nccs-bsa.org/religious-activities/marian-series/
