Religious Emblem programs are available for scouts to earn.
The Light of Christ emblem is designed for 6-7 year olds (grades 1-2) and encourages Tiger Cubs and Wolf Cub Scouts to develop a personal relationship with Jesus. With the active participation of the parent(s), we hope that the Scout will come to see Jesus as a real person and friend.
The Parvuli Dei emblem is designed for 8-10 year olds (grades 3-4) to help Bear and Webelos Cub Scouts become more aware of God's presence in their daily lives, especially in their homes and communities. The program works with the assistance of the Scout's parent(s).
The Ad Altare Dei emblem designed for 13-14 year olds (grades 7-8) to assists Boy Scouts of the Latin Rite to develop a fully Christian way of life in their faith communities. The program is organized in steps based on the seven Sacraments. Adherence to these Sacraments is a primary means of developing spiritual growth. The Scout is assisted in the program by an approved religious emblems counselor.
The Pope Pius XII emblem designed for Venturing Crew Members and Boy Scouts and Explorers 15 years old and older (grade 9 - college). The program deals with Church-related ministries and vocations - avenues through which baptized persons commit themselves to serve humanity in obedience to God's call within our Catholic faith community. Boy Scouts and Explorers are assisted by an approved religious emblem's moderator.
