Religious Activities and Recognitions

"A Scout is reverent." All Scouts show this by being faithful in their duty to God. Some go further and give special service. From the beginning, Scouting has promoted the spiritual development of it's members.  A Scout can be recognized by their religious organization for faithful service with a religious emblem. Such an emblem is not a Scouting award. It is conferred on a Scout by his religious leader. Each faith has its own requirements for earning its emblem.
