Scouting is good support for your son's spiritual growth, through encouraging him to be faithful in his
religious duties. He will learn through the religious emblems program, "A Scout Is Reverent," that service to others is paramount. Faith is an important expression of who we are as a people of God. This is just as important with youth in the Boy Scouts and GSUSA. A way to develop growth in faith is with earning religious emblems that encourage Scouts to learn more about their faith. Religious emblems are available for all faiths.
