Books for Scouts working on Light of Christ and Parvuli Dei are available for purchase at the local BSA Scout Shop.

The Scout must finish the program with an interview with the pastor, priest, deacon or youth minister affiliated with their parish. In the handbook there is a space for a signature from the “Pastor or Parish Administrator (or Delegate). A Pastor may appoint another priest, deacon, religious sister or youth minister as his Delegate should he choose not to conduct the interviews himself. This interview is an important experience for the Scout and reinforces the importance of Catholic Scouting for the Pastor and Parish.

God is Love, Light of Christ and Parvuli Dei should be presented during a parish Mass or other special parish event. The purple “Religious Knot” is the BSA recognition and is available for purchase at the local BSA Scout Shop. Knots should be presented at a Pack Meeting. Sample ceremonies are available.

Cub Scouts who complete these programs and whose applications are submitted to the address below by December 31, will also be recognized at our annual Scout recognition ceremony in February. If the forms and payment are not received by the cutoff date of December 31, the scout will still receive the emblem and it can be presented at the parish as described above; but the Scout will mostly likely be invited to the recognition ceremony the following year. Please plan ahead.

Please note: Each Cub Scout is to have his/her own workbook. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE COPIES OF THE WORKBOOK. That infringes on copyright policies.
The application found in the workbook is the one that must be signed and submitted in order to receive the medal. Photocopies are not accepted to turn in but please make a copy to keep for your records before submitting the original form.

PLEASE PLAN AHEAD These medals are often presented at Scout Sunday in February, although they can be presented at your parish at a Mass throughout the year.
