What are the Religious Emblems Programs?

 

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.

To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, religious groups have developed the following religious emblems programs. The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the emblems to be worn on the official uniform. The various religious groups administer the programs. Check with the council service center or contact the religious organization directly to obtain the curriculum booklets.

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.
