Hey, Scouts! Have you done your Duty to God?
Each faith has developed religious emblem programs and they have been approved the BSA to be worn on the official uniform. The various religious groups administer the programs and most require Scouts to complete the emblem with a member of the clergy or a trained advisor for your faith.
Emblem programs for most Christian faiths are available through praypub.org. Emblem programs for Catholic Scouts are available from the Scout's respective diocese. See the Joliet Diocese Catholic Committee on Scouting, the Rockford Diocese Catholic Committee on Scouting , or the Chicago Diocese Catholic Committee on Scouting. Program requirements for Catholic emblems are outlined here.
