Following a prayer service the committee will recognize Cub Scouts who earned their Light of Christ and Parvuli Dei emblems, and Boy Scouts and Venture Crew members who have earned the Ad Altare Dei and Pope Pius XII emblems.
Approximately 200 Scouts completed the requirements required to earn their emblems in 2012, according to a news release from the Scouting committee.
