St. Anne Medal
The St. Anne Medal is the highest National Recognition for adults who serve Catholic youth through girls'/boys' organizations. This 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 girls'/boys' organizations.
♦ To further Catholic adult leadership in youth ministry through national organizations serving girls/boys.
Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary, is a fitting and apt model for this, the highest award given by the Diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting to persons who have given selflessly to Catholic young women in the Girl Scouts of the USA and the Campfire Association. This award is given under the auspices of the National Federation of Catholic Youth Ministry and careful evaluation by the Diocese of Belleville Catholic Committee on Scouting with the goal of being highly selective. This medal should be considered to be comparable to the St. George emblem for Boy Scouts. This medal is not an award to be earned, but rather an honor one is nominated for by others. As such, all nominations should be made confidentially to the selection committee of the Diocese of Belleville Catholic Committee on Scouting. The total number of St. Anne medals given in any calendar year will not exceed three.
