Our Mission:

The Council's Protestant Committee believes that every Scout and Scouter should have an understanding of their own and other's religious beliefs.

Our intent is to promote Scouting's Protestant Religious Awards Programs to Scouts, Scouters, parents and church leaders.

We also are committed to helping to locate and match religious resources to Scouting's needs on the unit, district and council levels and to also aid them in the mission of nurturing healthy spiritual lives.
