Learn how to be an emblem counselor!

Looking to help the youth in your troop or pack grow deeper in their faith journey? Your Scout unit needs a Religious Emblem Counselor!

Having a counselor in every unit ensures that Scouts have a direct mentor and clear pathway to earn their Catholic Religious Emblems—whether they are working on Light of Christ, Parvuli Dei, Ad Altare Dei, Light is Life, or Pope Pius XII.

Why Earning Religious Emblems Matters for Scouts:

Faith in Action: Helps Scouts connect the Scout Oath and Law to their everyday Catholic values and personal spiritual life.

Grounded Growth: Offers an age-appropriate structure for youth to learn more about the sacraments, Scripture, and Catholic traditions.

Recognition: Allows Scouts to proudly live their faith and wear the Scouting America Religious Knot on their uniform.

You don't need a degree in theology to serve—just a willing heart and a commitment to guiding young people.
