The Bishop Flaget Trail is sponsored by the Catholic Committee on Scouting and the Lincoln Heritage Council. The Trail includes a short hike and camping for Scouts. The 2026 Flaget Trail is the 80th anniversary of the event. On the weekend of August 14, 15, 16, 2026, we will visit a site important in our Kentucky Catholic Heritage. The Sisters of Loretto operate a spiritual center for the broader Loretto Community, “which seeks to praise God and serve the near and farther neighbor by educating ourselves and others in the ways of peace and justice.”
We do not have advance registration, however, to help with planning, we ask that you call one of the numbers below or email us at archlouccs@gmail.com, with your best “guesstimate” of the number of possible attendees from your unit.
After the trail, an afternoon of fun activities is planned for those who chose to participate. Adult Counselor Training will be offered for Ad Altare Dei, Pope Pius XII as well as Religious Emblems Coordinator at 2:00 p.m.
We are looking forward to seeing all participants. We especially invite all Cub Scout units and families to participate, as this will make an excellent summertime family activity. Girl Scouts, American Heritage Girls and families are welcome to participate in the trail on Saturday morning. Please take into consideration the time to travel to Loretto. It takes approximately 60 minutes from the Ky. Fair and Expo Center area to the Loretto. Day hikers should arrive by 8:15am and the trail will begin at 8:45am.
