ABOUT THE
MENTOR PROGRAM
For each of the God and Me, God and Family, God and Church,
and God and Life religious emblem programs there is an adult mentor
resource booklet that provides a parallel course of personal growth for the
Scout's adult partner and has specific requirements for the adult to complete as
the adult works with the Scout.
An
adult mentor may be a parent, guardian, or other adult approved by the Scout,
the Scout’s parent(s) or guardian(s) and the Scout’s religious emblem program
counselor.
Adult mentors are asked to answer a series of questions, some of which may
require soul-searching, many of which present challenges and personal growth
opportunities. During the course, the adult will also have time to reflect on
his/her own spiritual growth and discuss a number of subjects with his/her
religious advisor. An adult can expect to learn and grow in faith as much or
more than the Scout.
Adults completing the mentor program are recognized with the award of a lapel
pin for civilian wear. (This does not entitle the mentor to wear the adult
religious award recognition square knot).
ABOUT THE
EMBLEMS
God and
Me: The
God and Me program is designed for children six to eight years old who wish
to participate in the religious emblems programs of their church. These
children will be helped to learn how to express their views of God and their
faith in God; see, and experience God as a gracious, loving father; and
understand how to grow beyond self-centeredness into consideration of others.
The
requirements for this program have recently been revised and include a parallel
program for adult mentors to participate with youth members (parents, guardians,
or church members may, but are not required, to participate as mentors). The
new requirements for the youth program and related adult mentor program are
outlined below.
You will
need to purchase the program material to participate in the program. The
outline is provided only to give you an idea of what areas are covered by the
