USSSP: A Scout's Duty to God and Country - Religious Awards for Scouters

ARE THERE RELIGIOUS AWARDS FOR ADULT SCOUTERS?

There are religious awards for adult Scouters, which are presented for exceptional service to boyhood through Scouting and the community for between 2 and 10 years depending on the religion (Our best information on tenure is indicated by the number in the parenthesis after the award. An "N" indicates that the nomination form does not require any specific tenure.). The criteria for these awards include service to the community outside of Scouting, service to Scouting and active involvement in the nominee's own religious organization. These awards cannot be sought or earned (unless indicated in parenthesis). In fact, the nomination forms for some awards include a caution that any efforts to obtain the award by the nominee will disqualify him or her from receiving the award.
