Eucharistic Revival Award and Patch
In support of the National Eucharistic Revival, the national Catholic Committee on Scouting has initiated a Eucharistic Revival Award. The goal of this award is to find a way for all Catholics, young and old, to revive their faith and love of Jesus through prayer and the sacraments, especially the Eucharist.
The concept of revival is to "bring to life" what was dead, which is something only God can do. (The word revival means "pertaining to life again" - RE = again; VIV = life; AL = pertaining to).
