[[Religious Emblems]] are designed to recognize youth and adults who demonstrate faith, observe the creeds or principles of the faith, and give service. Religious emblems are not Scouting awards; they are presented by religious groups to boys who earn them. The [[Religious Emblems]] programs are administered by various religious institutions and recognized, but not sponsored, by the BSA. These are generally recognized by a medal and an embroidered square knot. In some denominations, four different awards may be available. For instance, here are the non-denominational Protestant Award programs from PRAY Publishing: The silver square knot on a purple background [http://www.scoutstuff.org/BSASupply/ItemDetail.aspx?cat=01RTL&item=050AK No. 05007] is permanently displayed on the [[uniform]] above the left pocket to denote that the wearer has received the corresponding award as a youth. If he earns additional youth religious awards for various levels, he can wear up to four different devices on one knot, but only one silver on purple knot is worn. If a religious award is earned as a Cub Scout, the youth knot and devices may be worn on all subsequent [[uniforms]]: [[Cub Scout]], [[Boy Scout]], [[Venturing]], and [[Scouters]]. Adult leaders can also be recognized with an Adult Religious Emblem which is a purple knot on a silver background [http://www.scoutstuff.org/BSASupply/ItemDetail.aspx?cat=01RTL&item=050AK No. 05014]. Some programs allow Girl Scouts or youth not in Scouting to participate in these same programs and be presented with the same medals but only a member of the Boy Scouts America can wear the BSA knots. The medals are usually only worn on special occasions, pinned immediately above the top of the left pocket flap of the [[uniform]] shirt. Youth may earn an emblem whether or not they are members of a unit operated by a religious organization. The intent of the program is to work directly with your own religious leader or, in some cases, a layperson designated by that religious leader. {{reqs}} ==See Also== *[[Scout Sunday]] *[[Declaration of Religious Principle]] == External links == Information from the BSA: * [http://www.scouting.org/awards/religious/faq.html Frequently Asked Questions] * [http://www.scouting.org/awards/religious/getstarted.html How to Get Started] * [http://www.scouting.org/awards/religious/awards/index.html Programs with contact information] [[Category:Advice]] [[Category:Special Opportunities]] [[Category:Boy Scout awards]]
