MIDLAND — Nearly 500 young people and adults from 21 parishes attended the Diocese of Charlotte’s annual Catholic Camporee March 31-April 2 at Belk Scout Camp.
At this year’s Camporee, a record number of five Boy Scouts – Nicolas Martinez, Christopher Day, Zeke Adams, Franklin Burgess and Nathan Russell – received the Pillars of Faith Award for having earned all four Catholic religious emblems (the Light of Christ, Parvuli Dei, Ad Altare Dei and the Pope Pius XII). All five are members of Troop 958 from St. Leo the Great Church in Winston-Salem.
