WHAT ARE RELIGIOUS AWARDS FOR SCOUTS?
Religious awards are offered to scouts of all ages! In earning the awards, scouts explore their faith in relationship to church, family and friends in a scout context. After completing the award, the scout is awarded the medal at a special ceremony at the Diocesan "Celebration of Scouting" or in their local parish.
Awards are earned by completing projects outlined in awards books available for each award by working with the Scout's own family or through a religious awards counselor.Click Here for Information on Catholic Scout Awards for Girls
