What is the role of the DCCS?

The Diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting is established by the Bishop of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston to aid, assist, and promote Catholic Scouting within the archdiocese. The chaplain and spiritual advisor is appointed by the Bishop and the goal of the DCCS is to aid and assist pastors and others in the church who are interested in the benefits of Catholic Scouting.  The DCCS also coordinates the training of counselors and activities for religious emblem programs.
