2021 Duty To God Pilgrimage Merry Christmas patches Philmont Training Center
The
2021 Duty To God Pilgrimage
course  is unlike any other Philmont Training Center course.
The Faith Journey begins in Texas by visiting the Groom Cross, travels to Santa Fe (Loretto Chapel, San Miguel Mission), Sanctuario Chimayo and then completes the course at the Philmont Training Center.
Upon completion of the unique activities encompassed by the Inaugural Duty To God Pilgrimage, all who participate received the course patch from the Director of the course on August 1st.
Both individual and as a group, our pilgrimage explored the lives of inspiring religious figures throughout history, dedicated each day to a Scouting or Religious role model in Scouting, reveled in stories how God Is At Work In Our Lives every day, had discussions between 6 different christian religions, and visited sites of historical and religious significance along the way.
The pilgrimage is a Faith Journey whether it be near the beginning, kick started or matured.
These were Fund Raiser patches that helped cut the cost of the course:
The
Merry Christmas Ornament
patch (black and silver mylar borders) is an unprecedented patch issue that is one-of-a-kind.
It celebrates both our Christmas Holiday as well as the 2021 Duty To God Pilgrimage course at the Philmont Training Center, Cimarron, New Mexico.
The Merry Christmas patch is both a fund raiser and a holiday celebration patch and the First Known Christmas patch like this in Longhorn Council as a fund raiser benefiting Troop and Crew 32 sponsorship of
2021 Duty To God Pilgrimage Course - Philmont Training Center.
