Religious Emblems and Awards

For the complete Fort Worth Diocese Catholic Committee on Scouting Emblems Program, please email the Emblems Chair.

Which Emblem is Right for My Scout?

Often the first interaction a parent or scout has with the Catholic Committee on Scouting is related to earning a religious emblem or award. Fun and often challenging, the requirements can prove confusing.

In order to simplify things we have broken down our religious emblems program into two sections. The first - visible below - is a listing of available awards based on the type of cub and school grade of your scout. The second is an in-depth discussion of each emblem available by clicking the navigation buttons to your left.

A Breakdown of Available Emblems

Cub / Webelos

Cub Scout Trail Grade Requirements Emblem Tiger or Wolf Must be completed before 3rd Grade. Light of Christ Bear or Webelos Must have completed 2nd Grade. Parvuli Dei

Boy / Venturer

Emblem Requirements Ad Altare Dei • Age 13 or older. • Completed 6th grade. • Active in troop for 6 months. Pope Pius XII • Boy Scout: Must complete by age 18. • Venture Scout: Must complete by age 21. • Must have started 9th grade.

Eastern Catholics

Some Boy Scouts active in scouting within the Diocese of Fort Worth are also Eastern Catholics. The Eastern Catholic equivalent to the "Ad Altare Dei" is the "Light is Life" emblem. You cannot complete both emblems.

Please contact the Religious Emblems Chair if you have questions or are interested in working towards this emblem.
