This July, as our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, Catholic Scouts across the United States will come together in a powerful novena to honor America and seek the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas. United by faith, we invite Scouts, their leaders, and their families to join in this special prayer for our country, asking for blessings, healing, and guidance as we celebrate our nation’s history and future.
