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.
