Several Cub Scouts from Holy Name's Pack 50 recently completed the necessary requirements to receive Religious Emblem awards from the Boy Scouts of America.  The boys were required to study a denomination-appropriate activity book and discuss these topics with their parents, guardians or ministers.  Rather than simply winning an award, the goal of earning a religious emblem is to help the Scout develop a personal relationship with Jesus.

Jonas received the Presbyterian "God and Me" Emblem in a ceremony at his church attended by his minister, congregation and fellow Scouts.  Sean received the "Parvuli Dei" Emblem and the Wolves each received the "Light of Christ" Emblem at a ceremony presided over by Bishop McRaith in Owensboro.  Congratulations, Scouts!
