Youth
Religious Award
This knot may
be worn by any Scout or Scouter that completed a religious
emblem program as a youth member. (Similar programs are administered
by the religious organizations for Girl Scouting USA, 4-H, and
Campfire) The actual administration of religious emblem programs is
conducted by the Scout's religious organization. The religious
organization usually presents the religious emblem upon completion
of the religious emblem program. Units frequently honor the
recipient with a presentation of the Universal Religious Emblem
Square Knot. Only one youth award square knot is worn, no matter how
many times the holder earns a second or subsequent religious award
as a youth member. For subsequent awards, the Scout wears the
appropriate devices on his square knot to indicate multiple awards.
Adult Religious Award
The Adult Religious Award is
worn by adults
who received religious awards as an adult. This square knot is worn
by those whom have received a religious award as an adult member of
the BSA. The awards are not BSA awards and are presented by
religious organizations for long tenure of service to Scouting, the
religion, and the community. With one exception all of these awards
require a nomination. Self-nomination is not allowed.
Only one Adult
Religious Award square knot is worn regardless of how many awards
have been received. It is possible, for example, to receive two or
three levels of awards in some faiths or to receive awards from more
than one faith.
Unit Religious Award
Is your Unit Chartered by a Church? Have you been a Quality Unit? If
you answered YES to both questions, there may be a special award
that your unit could qualify for but which very few units ever
earn.
