The Catholic Committee on Scouting for the Diocese of Sacramento provides the Bronze
Pelican Award to men and
women as recognition for contributing directly to the spiritual nourishment of Catholic
boys and girls in the scouting
movement.
The Pelican has been used as a liturgical symbol since the early days of Christianity.
It denotes the tender care of the
young by the parent and by the Church. As such, it is an appropriate symbol for those who
give of themselves to the
spiritual development of boys and girls in their formation as Christian leaders.
