Each Cub Scout pledges to do their Duty to God. Boy Scouts of America leaves it to the family to decide who their God is. One way the Cub Scout can show their Duty to God is to earn the religious emblem of their faith. The religious emblems programs are programs of the respective religious denominations. Most denominations have one or two age-appropriate emblems that a Cub Scout can earn.
As a Catholic-chartered unit, Pack 71 has a religious emblems coordinator who can assist Catholic Cub Scouts in earning their emblems. They can also provide information on how Cub Scouts of other denominations can earn their religious emblem. In addition to the religious emblem (or medal) awarded by the religious denomination, BSA and Pack 71 provide the youth religious knot which is the only knot that can be worn on the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Adult Leader uniform.
Contact the Religious Emblems Coordinator, Eneida Scoby at enescoby@gmail.com to discuss how to start the program.
