Mike_Fossler 10 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Can someone tell me where to get more info about the CS religious awards? I'd like to share this with other parents in my den. Mike Link to post Share on other sites

Fat Old Guy 11 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 praypub.org is a good place to start. It is important to note that the religious awards are not a BSA program but are a BSA recognized program. Each religion can set the standards for their own awards. Most, if not all, of the the Protestant religions use the "God and Family" program. Roman Catholics have their own as do Jews, Orthodox Christians, Buddists, Momorms and so on.

drhannon 10 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 You might also try your council scout shop. They may have the poster which shows all the religious awards on it and there is some information on the back. Link to post Share on other sites
scoutldr 732 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Gotta watch out for those Momorms, though. I hear they eat Beagles. Link to post Share on other sites
LovetoCamp 9 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 "Roman Catholics have their own as do Jews, Orthodox Christians, Buddists, Momorms and so on." FOG, did you mean "Mormons"? Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Old Guy 11 Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 TP, if I had meant "Mormons," I would have said, "The Latter Day Saints of Jesus Christ." The Momorms are a little known cult that comes from Transalpine Gaul and pre-date the invasion of Christianity by at least 2,000 years. Scoutldr is right, they do practice an ancient ritual of beagle eating and are responsible for the term "hot dog" being applied to sausage. Their religious medal is known as "Me and you and a beagle named boo." Link to post Share on other sites

fotoscout 15 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Your Council should have a Religious Activities Committee. You can contact the council office and get a contact number for the chairperson. That person should have all the answers you'll ever need. For new Cub Scout Leaders this can be a complicated exercise. You should be sure that the leaders understand that the religious awards are optional, and may be used for advancement, but are not required. The CS books contain the required achievement(s) in this area. (This message has been edited by fotoscout) Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_Fossler 10 Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 Thanks to everyone who posted a reply. The P.R.A.Y. website was a big help. I have ordered the necessary publications, and our pastor is happy to act as counselor, so we're off. The program looks quite challenging for my 8 year-old, but it will be good for him. Thanx again, Mike Link to post Share on other sites
