Catholic Religious Emblem Program
Leaders from St. Mary’s Troop will be instructing the Ad Altare Dei Catholic Religious Emblem for scouts starting 8th grade and older in September. They have invited scouts of the Catholic denomination from Troop 24 to join them. Here is the link for more information about the Ad Altare Dei Medal and how scouts can receive this award:

They will be ordering supplies and working on meeting plans this summer, so we need to let them know how many scouts from our troop will participate. Please sign up here:

Religious emblem programs exist for almost all the recognized religions and denominations, and Scouts may contact the Boy Scout Council office or their religious leaders if they are interested in working on emblems for another denomination or religion.
