FOReWORD

The purpose of the Relationships Division is to support local councils as they work with local organizations to extend the Scouting program through new-unit organization. We initiate contact on a national basis with the organizations to provide qualified prospects for new units.

In the pages of this guide, you’ll find resources for establishing and maintain-ing relationships with the community, with religious groups, and with labor organizations. We’ve also included a handy reference chart with detailed information on the religious emblems programs available through the Boy Scouts of America, as well as a list of available special-interest literature and a valuable compendium of BSA Web resources.

The materials listed in this catalogue are merely a “snapshot” of what exists in the Relationships Division. We are constantly improving, updating, and creating new materials. We hope that you find these materials useful.

How to Obtain MaterialsRelationships Resources includes three types of material:

• Bin Resources. Volunteers can obtain these items through their local council service centers. Limited quantities are free. The local council uses the Bin Resources order form on page 23 to place orders. (Bin resource order numbers include a hyphen: ##-###.)

• Supply Division Resources. Items for sale can be ordered, using a credit card, from the BSA Supply Division’s toll-free number (800-323-0732) or from any BSA local council service center. (These items have order numbers of four or five digits and no hyphen: #####.) The local council uses the Standard Order Form on page 21 to place orders.

• Online resources. An address is given for each online item. Most of these addresses begin with “www.scouting.org.” Some begin with “extranet.scouting.org”; the latter require a password for access.

QuestionsFrequently AskedAvailable to Members of the Boy Scouts of America

Religious Emblems ProgramsA Scout is reverent. He is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties and respects the convictions of others in matters of custom and religion.To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, religious groups have developed the following religious emblems programs. The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the emblems to be worn on the offi-cial uniform. The various religious groups administer the programs. Check with your local council service center or contact the religious organization directly to obtain the curriculum booklets.

Materials with a Boy Scouts of America supply number are available from your local Scout council or from the BSA National Distribution Center toll-free at 800-323-0732.

S = student material. C = counselor material. M = adult mentor material.1The Venturing Religious Life Bronze Award is part of the Venturing advancement program.

How Do We Get Started on These Programs?1. Youth members must obtain the specific booklet for their religion.

2. Parents must review the program guidelines.

3. Families should talk to their religious leaders and show them the booklet before beginning any program.

4. The youth member needs to complete the requirements, obtain the proper signatures, and order the emblem.

What are the religious emblems programs?The religious emblems programs are programs created by the various religious groups to encourage youth to grow stronger in their faith. The religious groups—not the Boy Scouts of America—have created the reli-gious emblems programs themselves.

The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the recognition to be worn on the official uniform, but each religious organization develops and administers its own program.

I have a unit with children of all different faiths. How can I include the religious emblems programs for my unit?The religious emblems programs should be presented to youth members and their families as an optional program for them to complete through their religious organization. Religious instruction should always come from the religious organization, not from the unit leader. Parents need to be informed of these programs and told where to get the information for their particular faith. Interested in making a presentation on the religious awards? Find sample scripts at www.praypub.org.

Do boys and girls participate in the same program?It depends on the religion. Some religions have created programs that are used by both boys and girls. Other religions have created programs for members of separate youth agencies (i.e., Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., and Camp Fire Boys and Girls). Please check the specific eligibility requirements for each religious emblems program.

Do the youth have to belong to a religious institution?It depends on the religion. Please check the eligibility requirements for your particular religious program.

Why doesn’t my religious institution know about the religious emblems programs?Although the religious bodies at the national level created the religious emblems programs, the local religious institution may not be aware of these programs. It may be helpful to write for more information or even obtain a copy of the curriculum to give to your religious leader.

If the religious emblems program for my faith has more than one level (for the different grade levels), may my child earn all of these recognitions?Yes. Members can earn all levels of their religious emblems program. However, they must be in the appropriate program guidelines when they start and complete each level (they may not go backward and earn younger programs).

How is the emblem presented?The emblem should be presented in a meaningful ceremony, preferably in the youth member’s religious institution. Some emblems come with a sample presentation ceremony.

How long does it take to complete a program?It depends on the program. Some programs may take three or four months, others longer.

Where is the emblem worn on the uniform?The universal religious square knot is worn over the left shirt pocket of the uniform. Cloth badges and embroidered square knots are representa-tive of the medal award. When a cloth badge is worn, the medal award is not worn.

How do we get started on these programs?First, youth members must obtain the specific booklet for their reli-gion. This booklet will contain information on all the lessons and

service projects that they will need to complete. Each member needs to have his or her own booklet to document progress. Some religions also provide adult manuals for counselors and mentors. Check with your local council to see if it stocks these booklets in its store, or contact the religious organization directly (addresses and phone numbers are listed in this brochure).

Second, parents must review the specific guidelines for their particular program; age/grade requirements vary from program to program. Some programs require that the youth be an official “member” of the local religious institution, others may not. Each program determines who may serve as counselor (some require clergy, others allow parents or other family members). Be sure to look at specific eligibility guidelines!

Third, families should talk to their religious leaders and show them the booklet before beginning any program. Most of the religious emblems programs require that they be completed under the auspices of that religious organization, and many require the signature of the local religious leader. Again, check the specific eligibility requirements for your religious program.

Fourth, the member needs to complete the requirements, obtain the proper signatures, and follow the instructions to order the emblem/award. (These emblems are not available in your local council.) The emblem can be presented at any time of the year and should be pre-sented in a meaningful ceremony, preferably in the member’s religious institution.

Who may serve as counselor?It depends on the program. Some programs require clergy to serve as counselor, others allow a parent or family member. Please check the specific guidelines for your religious program.

How do I order the recognition items?Each religious program has its own emblem. Follow the instructions in your recognition guidelines because the emblems come from different places and require submission of different information. These emblems will not be available in your local council!

What is the adult religious recognition program?An adult religious recognition award is presented by nomination only. The recognition is presented to worthy adults for their outstanding service to youth both through their religious institution and one of the national youth agencies. Recipients of these awards are unaware that they are being nominated. They are nominated to receive an award by sub-mitting the required application, letters of recommendation, and resume. Please check eligibility requirements for specific awards.

Which religious emblem square knot should I wear?Cloth, silver knot on purple, No. 05007, may be worn by youth or adult members who earned the knot as a youth, above left pocket. Cloth, purple on silver, No. 05014, may be worn by adult members presented with the recognition, above left pocket. Adults may wear both knots if they satisfy qualifying criteria. (See the Insignia Guide, No. 33066D.)

Generally, only one knot is worn, but any combination of devices may be worn on the same knot. (See Cub Scout device, No. 00926; Webelos Scout device, No. 00932; Boy Scout device, No. 00927; and Venturer device, No. 00930.)

What are the religious emblems programs?The religious emblems programs are programs created by the various religious groups to encourage youth to grow stronger in their faith. The religious groups—not the Boy Scouts of America—have created the reli-gious emblems programs themselves.

The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the recognition to be worn on the official uniform, but each religious organization develops and administers its own program.

I have a unit with children of all different faiths. How can I include the religious emblems programs for my unit?The religious emblems programs should be presented to youth members and their families as an optional program for them to complete through their religious organization. Religious instruction should always come from the religious organization, not from the unit leader. Parents need to be informed of these programs and told where to get the information for their particular faith. Interested in making a presentation on the religious awards? Find sample scripts at www.praypub.org.

Do boys and girls participate in the same program?It depends on the religion. Some religions have created programs that are used by both boys and girls. Other religions have created programs for members of separate youth agencies (i.e., Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., and Camp Fire Boys and Girls). Please check the specific eligibility requirements for each religious emblems program.

Do the youth have to belong to a religious institution?It depends on the religion. Please check the eligibility requirements for your particular religious program.

Why doesn’t my religious institution know about the religious emblems programs?Although the religious bodies at the national level created the religious emblems programs, the local religious institution may not be aware of these programs. It may be helpful to write for more information or even obtain a copy of the curriculum to give to your religious leader.

If the religious emblems program for my faith has more than one level (for the different grade levels), may my child earn all of these recognitions?Yes. Members can earn all levels of their religious emblems program. However, they must be in the appropriate program guidelines when they start and complete each level (they may not go backward and earn younger programs).

How is the emblem presented?The emblem should be presented in a meaningful ceremony, preferably in the youth member’s religious institution. Some emblems come with a sample presentation ceremony.

How long does it take to complete a program?It depends on the program. Some programs may take three or four months, others longer.

Where is the emblem worn on the uniform?The universal religious square knot is worn over the left shirt pocket of the uniform. Cloth badges and embroidered square knots are representa-tive of the medal award. When a cloth badge is worn, the medal award is not worn.

How do we get started on these programs?First, youth members must obtain the specific booklet for their reli-gion. This booklet will contain information on all the lessons and

service projects that they will need to complete. Each member needs to have his or her own booklet to document progress. Some religions also provide adult manuals for counselors and mentors. Check with your local council to see if it stocks these booklets in its store, or contact the religious organization directly (addresses and phone numbers are listed in this brochure).

Second, parents must review the specific guidelines for their particular program; age/grade requirements vary from program to program. Some programs require that the youth be an official “member” of the local religious institution, others may not. Each program determines who may serve as counselor (some require clergy, others allow parents or other family members). Be sure to look at specific eligibility guidelines!

Third, families should talk to their religious leaders and show them the booklet before beginning any program. Most of the religious emblems programs require that they be completed under the auspices of that religious organization, and many require the signature of the local religious leader. Again, check the specific eligibility requirements for your religious program.

Fourth, the member needs to complete the requirements, obtain the proper signatures, and follow the instructions to order the emblem/award. (These emblems are not available in your local council.) The emblem can be presented at any time of the year and should be pre-sented in a meaningful ceremony, preferably in the member’s religious institution.

Who may serve as counselor?It depends on the program. Some programs require clergy to serve as counselor, others allow a parent or family member. Please check the specific guidelines for your religious program.

How do I order the recognition items?Each religious program has its own emblem. Follow the instructions in your recognition guidelines because the emblems come from different places and require submission of different information. These emblems will not be available in your local council!

What is the adult religious recognition program?An adult religious recognition award is presented by nomination only. The recognition is presented to worthy adults for their outstanding service to youth both through their religious institution and one of the national youth agencies. Recipients of these awards are unaware that they are being nominated. They are nominated to receive an award by sub-mitting the required application, letters of recommendation, and resume. Please check eligibility requirements for specific awards.

Which religious emblem square knot should I wear?Cloth, silver knot on purple, No. 05007, may be worn by youth or adult members who earned the knot as a youth, above left pocket. Cloth, purple on silver, No. 05014, may be worn by adult members presented with the recognition, above left pocket. Adults may wear both knots if they satisfy qualifying criteria. (See the Insignia Guide, No. 33066D.)

Generally, only one knot is worn, but any combination of devices may be worn on the same knot. (See Cub Scout device, No. 00926; Webelos Scout device, No. 00932; Boy Scout device, No. 00927; and Venturer device, No. 00930.)

What are the religious emblems programs?The religious emblems programs are programs created by the various religious groups to encourage youth to grow stronger in their faith. The religious groups—not the Boy Scouts of America—have created the reli-gious emblems programs themselves.

The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the recognition to be worn on the official uniform, but each religious organization develops and administers its own program.

I have a unit with children of all different faiths. How can I include the religious emblems programs for my unit?The religious emblems programs should be presented to youth members and their families as an optional program for them to complete through their religious organization. Religious instruction should always come from the religious organization, not from the unit leader. Parents need to be informed of these programs and told where to get the information for their particular faith. Interested in making a presentation on the religious awards? Find sample scripts at www.praypub.org.

Do boys and girls participate in the same program?It depends on the religion. Some religions have created programs that are used by both boys and girls. Other religions have created programs for members of separate youth agencies (i.e., Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., and Camp Fire Boys and Girls). Please check the specific eligibility requirements for each religious emblems program.

Do the youth have to belong to a religious institution?It depends on the religion. Please check the eligibility requirements for your particular religious program.

Why doesn’t my religious institution know about the religious emblems programs?Although the religious bodies at the national level created the religious emblems programs, the local religious institution may not be aware of these programs. It may be helpful to write for more information or even obtain a copy of the curriculum to give to your religious leader.

If the religious emblems program for my faith has more than one level (for the different grade levels), may my child earn all of these recognitions?Yes. Members can earn all levels of their religious emblems program. However, they must be in the appropriate program guidelines when they start and complete each level (they may not go backward and earn younger programs).

How is the emblem presented?The emblem should be presented in a meaningful ceremony, preferably in the youth member’s religious institution. Some emblems come with a sample presentation ceremony.

How long does it take to complete a program?It depends on the program. Some programs may take three or four months, others longer.

Where is the emblem worn on the uniform?The universal religious square knot is worn over the left shirt pocket of the uniform. Cloth badges and embroidered square knots are representa-tive of the medal award. When a cloth badge is worn, the medal award is not worn.

How do we get started on these programs?First, youth members must obtain the specific booklet for their reli-gion. This booklet will contain information on all the lessons and

service projects that they will need to complete. Each member needs to have his or her own booklet to document progress. Some religions also provide adult manuals for counselors and mentors. Check with your local council to see if it stocks these booklets in its store, or contact the religious organization directly (addresses and phone numbers are listed in this brochure).

Second, parents must review the specific guidelines for their particular program; age/grade requirements vary from program to program. Some programs require that the youth be an official “member” of the local religious institution, others may not. Each program determines who may serve as counselor (some require clergy, others allow parents or other family members). Be sure to look at specific eligibility guidelines!

Third, families should talk to their religious leaders and show them the booklet before beginning any program. Most of the religious emblems programs require that they be completed under the auspices of that religious organization, and many require the signature of the local religious leader. Again, check the specific eligibility requirements for your religious program.

Fourth, the member needs to complete the requirements, obtain the proper signatures, and follow the instructions to order the emblem/award. (These emblems are not available in your local council.) The emblem can be presented at any time of the year and should be pre-sented in a meaningful ceremony, preferably in the member’s religious institution.

Who may serve as counselor?It depends on the program. Some programs require clergy to serve as counselor, others allow a parent or family member. Please check the specific guidelines for your religious program.

How do I order the recognition items?Each religious program has its own emblem. Follow the instructions in your recognition guidelines because the emblems come from different places and require submission of different information. These emblems will not be available in your local council!

What is the adult religious recognition program?An adult religious recognition award is presented by nomination only. The recognition is presented to worthy adults for their outstanding service to youth both through their religious institution and one of the national youth agencies. Recipients of these awards are unaware that they are being nominated. They are nominated to receive an award by sub-mitting the required application, letters of recommendation, and resume. Please check eligibility requirements for specific awards.

Which religious emblem square knot should I wear?Cloth, silver knot on purple, No. 05007, may be worn by youth or adult members who earned the knot as a youth, above left pocket. Cloth, purple on silver, No. 05014, may be worn by adult members presented with the recognition, above left pocket. Adults may wear both knots if they satisfy qualifying criteria. (See the Insignia Guide, No. 33066D.)

Generally, only one knot is worn, but any combination of devices may be worn on the same knot. (See Cub Scout device, No. 00926; Webelos Scout device, No. 00932; Boy Scout device, No. 00927; and Venturer device, No. 00930.)

What are the religious emblems programs?The religious emblems programs are programs created by the various religious groups to encourage youth to grow stronger in their faith. The religious groups—not the Boy Scouts of America—have created the reli-gious emblems programs themselves.

The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the recognition to be worn on the official uniform, but each religious organization develops and administers its own program.

I have a unit with children of all different faiths. How can I include the religious emblems programs for my unit?The religious emblems programs should be presented to youth members and their families as an optional program for them to complete through their religious organization. Religious instruction should always come from the religious organization, not from the unit leader. Parents need to be informed of these programs and told where to get the information for their particular faith. Interested in making a presentation on the religious awards? Find sample scripts at www.praypub.org.

Do boys and girls participate in the same program?It depends on the religion. Some religions have created programs that are used by both boys and girls. Other religions have created programs for members of separate youth agencies (i.e., Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., and Camp Fire Boys and Girls). Please check the specific eligibility requirements for each religious emblems program.

Do the youth have to belong to a religious institution?It depends on the religion. Please check the eligibility requirements for your particular religious program.

Why doesn’t my religious institution know about the religious emblems programs?Although the religious bodies at the national level created the religious emblems programs, the local religious institution may not be aware of these programs. It may be helpful to write for more information or even obtain a copy of the curriculum to give to your religious leader.

If the religious emblems program for my faith has more than one level (for the different grade levels), may my child earn all of these recognitions?Yes. Members can earn all levels of their religious emblems program. However, they must be in the appropriate program guidelines when they start and complete each level (they may not go backward and earn younger programs).

How is the emblem presented?The emblem should be presented in a meaningful ceremony, preferably in the youth member’s religious institution. Some emblems come with a sample presentation ceremony.

How long does it take to complete a program?It depends on the program. Some programs may take three or four months, others longer.

Where is the emblem worn on the uniform?The universal religious square knot is worn over the left shirt pocket of the uniform. Cloth badges and embroidered square knots are representa-tive of the medal award. When a cloth badge is worn, the medal award is not worn.

How do we get started on these programs?First, youth members must obtain the specific booklet for their reli-gion. This booklet will contain information on all the lessons and

service projects that they will need to complete. Each member needs to have his or her own booklet to document progress. Some religions also provide adult manuals for counselors and mentors. Check with your local council to see if it stocks these booklets in its store, or contact the religious organization directly (addresses and phone numbers are listed in this brochure).

Second, parents must review the specific guidelines for their particular program; age/grade requirements vary from program to program. Some programs require that the youth be an official “member” of the local religious institution, others may not. Each program determines who may serve as counselor (some require clergy, others allow parents or other family members). Be sure to look at specific eligibility guidelines!

Third, families should talk to their religious leaders and show them the booklet before beginning any program. Most of the religious emblems programs require that they be completed under the auspices of that religious organization, and many require the signature of the local religious leader. Again, check the specific eligibility requirements for your religious program.

Fourth, the member needs to complete the requirements, obtain the proper signatures, and follow the instructions to order the emblem/award. (These emblems are not available in your local council.) The emblem can be presented at any time of the year and should be pre-sented in a meaningful ceremony, preferably in the member’s religious institution.

Who may serve as counselor?It depends on the program. Some programs require clergy to serve as counselor, others allow a parent or family member. Please check the specific guidelines for your religious program.

How do I order the recognition items?Each religious program has its own emblem. Follow the instructions in your recognition guidelines because the emblems come from different places and require submission of different information. These emblems will not be available in your local council!

What is the adult religious recognition program?An adult religious recognition award is presented by nomination only. The recognition is presented to worthy adults for their outstanding service to youth both through their religious institution and one of the national youth agencies. Recipients of these awards are unaware that they are being nominated. They are nominated to receive an award by sub-mitting the required application, letters of recommendation, and resume. Please check eligibility requirements for specific awards.

Which religious emblem square knot should I wear?Cloth, silver knot on purple, No. 05007, may be worn by youth or adult members who earned the knot as a youth, above left pocket. Cloth, purple on silver, No. 05014, may be worn by adult members presented with the recognition, above left pocket. Adults may wear both knots if they satisfy qualifying criteria. (See the Insignia Guide, No. 33066D.)

Generally, only one knot is worn, but any combination of devices may be worn on the same knot. (See Cub Scout device, No. 00926; Webelos Scout device, No. 00932; Boy Scout device, No. 00927; and Venturer device, No. 00930.)

God and Country Mentor ProgramA mentor is someone who serves as a living example for another person. This God and Country mentor program is designed to help adults look directly at what it means to serve as a Christian mentor and it gives suggestions for how to have a positive Christian influence on a child. The mentor curriculum is designed for adults to work with a young person who is enrolled in the God and Country program series. This mentor program does not replace the traditional God and Country series; it is an optional approach available to adults.

The mentor program is not to be confused with the adult recognition awards. An adult who completes the mentor studies will receive a certificate and a lapel pin for wear on non-uniform clothing.
