OCS Students Receive Parvuli Dei Scout Award

Five OCS students, who are members of the Cub Scouts of the Elementary K-3 Campus, received the Parvuli Dei medal award.

They are Matthew Graviss, Kevin Ralph, Parker Patton, Christian Abshier and Austin Stallings, all in the third grade.

The purpose of the Parvuli Dei (Children of God) emblem is to help young
boys explore a wide range of activities in order to discover the presence of
God in their daily lives as members of their families and parishes, and also
to develop a good, positive self-image through the contributions they can
make to the group or community.

Program Objectives are to help the Scout of his age develop an awareness of God's love for each one of His special, unique created beings. To help the Scout become aware and understand his identity as an important member of his family, his
community, and as a member of the Family of God. To continue to develop an awareness as members of the parish and the Body of Christ. To aid the Scout in his awareness of the responsibilities that grow out of God's love for us.
