Religious  Emblems  

How Do We Get Started on These Programs?

  1. Youth members must obtain the specific booklet for their religion.
    bulletCheck with your council store or contact the religious organization directly (see the chart on this site).
    bulletEach youth member needs his or her own booklet to document progress.
    bulletSome religions offer adult manuals for counselors and mentors.
  2. Parents must review the program guidelines.
    bulletSome programs require participants to be official "members" of the religious institution.
    bulletAge/grade requirements vary from program to program.
    bulletEach program sets its own guidelines as to who may serve as counselor. Some programs require clergy to serve as counselors; other programs allow parents or other family members to serve as counselors.
  3. Families should talk to their religious leaders and show them the booklet before beginning any program.
    bulletMost programs require that they be completed under the auspices of that religious organization.
    bulletMany programs require the signature of the local religious leader.
  4. The youth member needs to complete the requirements, obtain the proper signatures, and follow the instructions to order the emblem.
    bulletThese emblems are not available from your local council store (follow the instructions in your booklet).
    bulletThe emblem should be presented in a meaningful ceremony, preferably in the member's religious institution.
