My son needs to earn his Cub Scout church badge... How do I find out how to help him?

Question

My son and I attend a Church of Christ and he is needing to earn the religious emblem of our faith. How do we find out what he must do?

Answer 1

Hello yelodaise:

If you are in the Cub Scouts in the USA, the religous medal for your son is called "Loving Servant."

You can get a workbook from your Council office, or try:

Members of Churches of Christ for Scouting
ACU
Box 27938
Abilene, TX 79699-7938
325-674-3739

The religious emblems program is a voluntary exploration of the boy's faith. The programs are written by committees of the specific faith, and awarded by the religous body, not the BSA. It is encouraged, but not required by BSA to earn advancement. The program *may* entail a spiritual growth plan and study with an adviser.

Keep on Scoutin'

Answer 2

The first thing a cub scout must earn is his Tender Foot.
Then he should progress to be a boy scout and earn his 2nd Class, and then 1st Class.
After that, well, his King Scout badge, perhaps - with the coveted Wood Badge alongside.
The scouting body has no religious badge, mind you.

Answer 3

I have been researching this for my son as well. I have found a link here: http://usscouts.org/advance/cubscout/religious.asp
for Religious Emblems for Cub Scouts.
You will see your church link below the first four paragraphs.
I hope this helps.
God Bless.

Answer 4

He should have a book for whatever rank he is. In the book it will tell what the requirments are for earning his religious emblem, and you den leader should also be able to help you. Good luck

Answer 5

Ask the Scout Master.

Answer 6

The Cub Scout Handbook should tell whan he needs to do in it for each badge.

This should help - it's the leader's handbook, but it still works - http://www.geocities.com/~pack215/home.html

Answer 7

Call your local BSA office and ask to talk to the merit badge coordinator. I teach Anglican and Catholic studies for the same badges...but I know each denomination is different.

Answer 8

go to the Scoutmaster for the specifics requirements,then talk to your pastor about helping your son to develop a deep understanding of your faith. God bless you

Answer 9

Are you sure he really wants it and it's not something that you really want for him?
