The Office for Evangelization of Youth and Young Adults in the Catholic Diocese of Richmond is hosting a 40 mile backpacking called the Boy Scout Parater Trek.  

Francis J. Parater (October 10, 1897, – February 7, 1920) was an Eagle Scout, and a Catholic seminarian from the Diocese of Richmond who died of rheumatic fever at the age of 23 and was nominated for canonization (the process by which someone is declared a Saint) in 2001.

Participants will backpack approximately 40 miles in the Blue Ridge Mountains, with options for high adventure activities along the way, such as rock climbing and black powder rifle shooting. The Parater Trek will be based on the format of the National Catholic Committee on Scouting Saint George Trek.   The Parater Trek is scheduled for June 22-29, 2013.

What - A week of backpacking AND a Catholic retreat with daily Mass.

Who – Boy Scouts age 14-17
