Religious emblems programs (Boy Scouts of America)

Religious emblems programs are like special awards that the Boy Scouts of America give to boys and girls who belong to religious groups. It's like a special badge that you wear on your uniform that shows that you have learned important things about your religion and how it applies to being a good Scout!

To earn a religious emblem, you have to complete certain activities or classes to help you learn about your faith. You might read religious texts, talk to people in your religious community, or do projects that help you think about how your faith inspires you to do good things for others.

Different religious groups have different requirements for earning religious emblems, but everyone who earns a religious emblem has shown that they care a lot about their faith and want to be a good example for others in their Scout troop!
