Local Scouts earn honors
PALM BEACH GARDENS | A deadly tornado that hit a Boy Scout camp in Iowa and subsequent stories of how the boys’ bravery and preparation kept the tragedy from being worse had Scouts and their leaders in the Diocese of Palm Beach thinking about the role of Scouting in their lives.
The diocese annually pays tribute to Catholic boys and girls in Scouting. This year, coincidentally, the Mass on June 8 at the Cathedral of St. Ignatius of Loyola took place just days before the Iowa storm killed four Boy Scouts and injured 48. The destruction shocked the nation, but in the tornado’s aftermath came stories of young heroes responding to help the injured. The Florida Catholic contacted a few of the more than 100 Scouts ages 6 to 18 who were honored at a Mass and their leaders for their reactions. Read the full story HERE.
