Religious Emblems
To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, religious groups have developed the religious emblems program. 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 program. Check with your local council service center or contact the religious organization directly to obtain the curriculum booklets.
