Universal Youth Religiuos Emblem Square Knot

Religious Emblems
for Cub Scouts and Webelos Scouts


A Scout is reverent. A Scout is reverent toward God. A Scout is faithful in fulfilling religious duties. A Scout respects the beliefs of others.

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 official 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.

"A Scout is reverent." All Scouts show this by being faithful in their duty to God. Some go further and give special service. This can qualify them for 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. Listed below are the CUB SCOUT, AND WEBELOS SCOUT emblems and where to find out about them. Before writing or visiting your local council service center, check with your religious leader. Most of the awards listed below have specific age or grade requirements, which are set by the organizations that issue them.  In general, the awards.may be earned by Cub Scouts (Grades 1-3) and/or Webelos Scouts (grades 4-5), but not by Lion Cub Scouts (KIndergarten).

These groups (and others) also offer religious emblems for older youth. For information on the awards available to members of Scouts BSA, Sea Scouting, Venturing, and/or Exploring, Click here.

Most of the awards consist of bar pins, ribbons, and pendants, and are worn on the uniform above the left pocket on formal occasions. In addition, the Religious Emblem Square knot, shown at the top of this page, may be worn on the uniform over the left pocket by youth or adults who earned any of the religious awards. One or more miniature devices are affixed to the knot to indicate which level(s) of the award was earned.
