Religious Emblem Program

To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, religious groups have developed the following religious emblem programs. The Boy Scouts of America has approved these programs and allows the emblems to be worn on the official uniform. The various religious groups administer the programs.

Religious emblems can play a vital role in the overall development of young people. Besides providing specific religious instruction, the religious emblems programs share many of the values that are integral to the Scouting program, such as service to the community, intergenerational relationships, friendship-making skills, and positive self-esteem. The religious emblems programs provide opportunities for young people to reinforce and internalize the values they have learned in Scouting and to relate them to their faith.

For more information, download the religious emblems program brochure.

Also, be sure to check the Council Calendar for the next Religious Emblem Weekend for Protestant and Catholic Scouts. A great opportunity to start working toward your emblem with many other scouts at Camp Edgewood.
