Scouting has at it's cornerstone the tenets that a Scout do their "Duty to God," and that "A Scout is Reverent."
Family
Scouts are encouraged to pursue their Duty to God as they and their family see fit. This can mean religious or spiritual practices at home or a place of worship.
Troop
Troop 400 encourages Scouts to pursue the Scouts BSA Religious Emblems for their faith, to do good service in their community, and to participate in "Scout's Own" services at Troop events. Scout's Own services are non-sectarian services where Scouts take time to be Reverent as a group, to sing and share readings from World Faiths that support the experience of Scouting. Service themes might be: - Brotherhood- what do world faiths say about our common bonds as human beings?
- Do unto others... what do all world faiths have in common?
- Duty to God- what does this mean to the World Brotherhood of Scouting?
With help from the Troop Chaplain, Scout's own services are lead by the Troop's Chaplain's Aides. Religious Emblems Program
To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, religious groups have developed the following religious emblems programs. The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the emblems to be worn on the official uniform. The various religious groups administer the programs. Check with your local council service center or contact the religious organization directly to obtain the curriculum booklets.
How do you get started?- Youth members must obtain the specific booklet for their religion.
- Check with your council store or contact the religious organization directly
- Each youth member needs his or her own booklet to document progress.
- Some religions offer adult manuals for counselors and mentors.
- Parents must review the program guidelines.
- Some programs require participants to be official “members” of the religious institution.
- Age/grade requirements vary from program to program.
- Each program sets its own guidelines as to who may serve as counselor. Some programs require clergy to serve as counselors; other programs allow parents or other family members to serve as counselors (the Troop Chaplain may be able to provide a local contact for your faith, if you don't know one already).
- Families should talk to their religious leaders and show them the booklet before beginning any program.
- Most programs require that they be completed under the auspices of that religious organization.
- Many programs require the signature of the local religious leader.
- The youth member needs to complete the requirements, obtain the proper signatures, and follow the instructions to order the emblem.
- These emblems are not available from your local council store (follow the instructions in your booklet).
- The emblem should be presented in a meaningful ceremony, preferably in the member’s religious institution.
