JWSJ Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Our family references a higher power, but we're not specifically any one denomination. We do not attend outside religious services regularly. Spirituality and religion are part of our homeschool education. When I investigated the Cub Scout religious emblem knot, I do not see a non-denominational faith choice. So, is my son out of luck for earning a religious emblem knot? (This is not a criticism of BSA. I am only interested in validating my understanding of the religious emblem program.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krista in LA Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I believe these are generally awarded by the church rather than by the Scouts - at least in our council. I did google and found this list http://www.usscouts.org/advance/cubscout/religious.asp You didn't say what type of religion you are, but they have one for Protestant and Independent Christian Churches listed which then has a link to another website. Perhaps you can find the information you are looking for there or else contact your council for help. I know we have someone in charge of religios emblems for our council and they have a camp or workshop for it each year. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
