A Scout is Reverent,  is a point of the Scout Law. Scouts 
can earn their Religious Award for their given church, by working with their church leaders. Different churches have slightly different names for their religious awards, but all involve the Scout in his family, church, and community.
All scouts are strongly encouraged to earn their Religious Award. 
Check with Ginny Bigsby if you have questions on how to proceed, 
(906) 428-3347or
