To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, religious groups have developed religious emblems programs. The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the emblems to be worn on the official uniform. The various religious groups administer the programs.
A Scout who earns a religious emblem is entitled to wear the youth religious emblem square knot on his uniform. The religious emblem medal may also be worn over the knot for ceremonies and formal occasions. (See the Uniform Inspection Sheet for correct placement.)
