RELIGIOUS RECOGNITION FOR ADULTS

IN GIRL SCOUTS AND AMERICAN HERITAGE GIRLS

Archdiocese of Cincinnati

The St. Anne Medal

The St. Anne Medal is the highest national recognition for adults who serve Catholic youth through Girl Scouts and Camp Fire. The recognition was inaugurated in 1957 and redesigned in 1980. The purposes of the St. Anne recognition are:

• to honor the outstanding services of adults who contribute to the spiritual development of Catholic young people in these organizations

• to further Catholic adult leadership in youth ministry through these national youth-serving organizations.

The St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Award

The St. Elizabeth Ann Seton recognition was inaugurated in 1980 to recognize the meritorious contributions of adults who serve Catholic youth through Girl Scouts and Camp Fire. This medal affirms the work of those who help youth develop their spiritual lives within the context of these organizations. It will ordinarily be received before the St. Anne Medal is earned, but is not a requirement for receiving the St. Anne Medal.

The Certificate of Recognition is our own special recognition from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. In order to be eligible to receive this certificate each individual must be recommended by an active member. The person recommended may be male or female. The candidate does not have to be active in Girls Scouts or American Heritage Girls at the present time. What is necessary is that the candidate has contributed service to one of these programs.

These awards may be given to leaders registered in groups not under religious sponsorship.

The following guidelines should be considered:

1.   Shows ability to share faith with others.

2.   Due to his/her encouragement the group consistently develops a program of encouraging the Marian Medal, I Live My Faith and Family of God programs each year.

3.   Notable service in developing Catholic activities and a willingness to act as a leader of these activities.

4.   Recruiting other men and women to offer their services as leaders.

5.   Inaugurating the participating in-service projects for the Church and community.

6.   Promoting projects of a charitable nature.

7.   Consistently maintains and interprets to his/her organization the Catholic attitude toward Girl Scouts and American Heritage Girls and thus despite handicaps becomes responsible for having religious policies carried out to the benefit of the Catholic girls in the area.
