Chi Rho Recognition
The Catholic Committee on Scouting Archdiocese of Los Angeles (CCSALA) has designed and produced a new "Chi Rho" patch to recognize those scouts who complete all four Catholic religious emblem programs – Light of Christ, Parvuli Dei, Ad Altare Dei, and Pope Pius XII.
Only a small percentage of boys who join scouting achieve the rank of Eagle and an even smaller percentage of Catholic boys earn all four religious emblems.
In the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, this award will automatically be presented to the scout (free of charge) when verification of all the awards can be made. We will honor requests from other Catholic Committees on Scouting, but ask they accept the responsibility of verifying each Scout's awards.
Each patch costs $4.00 plus shipping. An order form will be available soon. In the meantime please contact the webmaster to make arrangments.
