The last point of the Scout Law is a Scout is Reverent. He is faithful of his duties and respects the convictions of others. The BSA provides an opportunity for Scouts and Scouters alike to earn the Religious Emblems Award. This program was created to encourage members to work on growing stronger in their faith. Different faiths have different requirements so you're encouraged to seek out the requirements for your particular denomination.
For any Scout interested in earning the Protestant Religious Emblem, there is an online class available now as follows:
God & Church: Sixth, Seventh & Eighth Grade (Parent Participation Required)
Oct. 17, Oct. 24, Nov. 7, Nov. 14, Nov. 21, Nov. 28, Dec. 5
4–5:30 p.m. CT
God & Life: Ninth, 10th, 11th & 12th Grade (Parent Participation Suggested)
Oct. 10, Oct. 17, Oct. 30 (Saturday), Nov. 7, Nov. 21, Nov. 28, Dec. 5, Dec. 26, Jan. 9

Oct. 10, Oct. 17, Oct. 30 (Saturday), Nov. 7, Nov. 21, Nov. 28, Dec. 5, Dec. 26, Jan. 9

Interested in teaching one of these classes?
Wondering how other faiths can start a similar program to teach religious emblem classes virtually?

This program is being hosted by Salem in Ballwin United Methodist Church and the National Religious Relationships Committee of the Boy Scouts of America, but you do not have to be a member of the Methodist Church, nor is the program specific to that denomination, but is specific to the Protestant faith.
