Youth
-
Youth members may receive the religious award of their
faith. The actual administration of the religious awards program is
conducted by the scout’s religious organization. The religious organization
usually presents the religious emblem upon completion of the religious
emblem program. The youth member may wear the Universal Youth Religious
Emblem Square Knot to signify his completion of the program. Only one square
knot may be worn even if a second or subsequent awards are earned. The scout
may wear a device indicating various levels he may have earned.
