The following is an excerpt from a letter from the National Catholic Committee on Scouting to diocesan scout leaders.
The role of the Chartered Partner Representative is critical. That person (either a staff person or volunteer) is supposed to assure, with Catholic-chartered Scout units, that the Scout program is a true youth ministry. Among other things, he or she encourages prayers at the beginning and ending of meetings, earning of the religious emblems, and supports the activities of the local diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting. There is a four part, one-hour training program available for Catholic Charter Organization Representatives that helps to explain how Scouting can be used as a youth ministry of the Catholic Church: Chartering to a Catholic Institution SCO_275, Reaching Youth through Scouting SCO_276, Your Role as a Catholic COR SCO_277, and Catholic Scouting under BSA Standards SCO_278. It is offered on-line through the scouting.org training web site. Every Catholic Charter Organization Representative will be required to take the course. Charter Organization Reps will have until May 1st to complete the courses. After that date, Catholic units will not be able to re-charter until this COR training is completed.
The steps to complete that training can be found below.
