Religious Emblem Awards Programs

Make plans to attend the Altare Dei & Pope Pius XII Retreat Altare Friday – Sunday May 4-6, 2007

A Scout is Reverent. He is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties and respects the convictions of others in matters of custom and religion.

The religious emblems programs are programs created by the various religious groups to encourage youth to grow stronger in their faith. The religious groups—not the Boy Scouts of America have created the religious emblems programs themselves.

The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the recognition to be worn on the official uniform, but each religious organization develops and administers its own program. Check with the Nor’west Scout Shop or contact the religious organization directly to obtain curriculum booklets.
