St Anne Award

The Saint Anne Medal is for adults working with Catholic members of national organizations serving youth.  The medal was inaugurated at the Sixth National Conference on Catholic Youth Work in Philadelphia in November 1957.  It was redesigned in 1980.  The Saint Anne Medal is offered to those dioceses, which choose to use it, subject to the approval of the local ordinary.  It is the highest national award in this field.   

The purpose of the medal is to honor the outstanding service to adults contributing to the spiritual development of Catholic members of Girl Scouts and Camp Fire organizations, and to further Catholic adult leadership in youth ministry through such organizations.
