  "A Scout is reverent." All Scouts show this by being faithful in their duty to God. Some go further and give special service. This can qualify them for a religious emblem. Such an emblem is not a Scouting award. It is conferred on a Scout by his religious leader. Each faith has its own requirements for earning its emblem. There are different requirements for the different ranks in Cub Scouting. Most of the awards consist of bar pins, ribbons, and pendants, and are worn on the uniform above the left pocket on formal occasions. In addition, the Religious Emblem Square knot, shown at the top of this page, may be worn on the uniform over the left pocket by youth or adults who earned any of the religious awards. One or more miniature devices are affixed to the knot to indicate which level(s) of the award was earned. The Duty to God patch is a temporary patch worn on the right breast pocket. Most religions have work books that are worked through with your family and religious leader Listed below are some of the faiths that offer a program for earning the religious emblemBaha'i Baptist Buddhist Christian Methodist Episcopal Church Church of Christ, Scientist (Christian Scientist) Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) Churches of Christ Eastern Catholic Eastern Orthodox Episcopal General Church of the New Jerusalem (The New Church) Hindu Islamic Jewish Lutheran Meher Baba Presbyterian Church in America Protestant and Independent Christian Churches Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) Roman Catholic The Salvation Army United Church of Christ United Methodist United Pentecostal Church International Unity Churches
