Troop 868 promotes the earning of Religious Awards!  This is an often overlooked or unknown aspect of the Boy Scout program.

“A Scout is Reverent. All scouts show this by being faithful in their religious duties, but some go further and carry out a program of study in their church. These Religious Awards are not a Scouting recognition, but are conferred on the scout by his religious organization.”

If you have any questions about earning the award for your faith please click here to contact our Troop Chaplain, Mr. Jim Robbins
