How Do We Get Started on These Programs?
- Youth members must obtain the specific booklet for their religion.
- Check with your council store or contact the religious organization
directly (see the chart on this site).
- 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.
- 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.
