Help Your Cub Scout Discover God’s Love with the Parvuli Dei Emblem!

Looking for a meaningful way to enrich your family's faith journey while supporting your Cub Scout? The Parvuli Dei (Children of God) religious emblem is designed specifically for Bear, Webelos, and Arrow of Light Cub Scouts (ages 8–10)!
This special program helps young Scouts recognize God’s presence in their daily lives as active members of their families, parishes, packs, and communities.

Why your family will love working on it together:
• Grows Awareness of God's Love: Guides your Scout to see how God is at work in their everyday actions, relationships, and service to others.
• Strengthens Family Faith: Designed to be completed at home with a parent or guardian, sparking inspiring conversations, shared Bible readings, and meaningful prayer time.
• Earn Uniform Recognition: Upon completion, Scouts receive the emblem medal and earn the Scouting America religious knot to wear proudly on their uniform!

Although the activities take about 4 to 6 hours to complete, spreading them over several weeks transforms the workbook into a lasting, faith-building routine.

Pick up a Parvuli Dei Activity Book today through the Scouting America Scout Shop or the Catholic Scouting America store to embark on this beautiful journey together! https://nccsshop.org/product/parvuli-dei-activity-book/

👏 Shout out to Dan, Mike, and Tom for helping grab some of our Scout gear, flags, and the old sign from Our Lady of Lourdes!

⚜️ A lot of great memories were made in that old building over the years. While Pack 199 is starting a new chapter, we’ll always appreciate the history, friendships, and Scouting memories made at OLOL.

Thank you for helping us bring a little piece of that history along with us! 💙💛

⚜️ Interested in Becoming a Religious Emblems Counselor or Coordinator?

A Scout is Reverent. 🙏

Did you know that adult volunteers can help Scouts explore their faith and work toward a Religious Emblem?

Scouting America recognizes religious emblems developed and administered by many different faith organizations. Each faith establishes its own requirements, including who may serve as a counselor or mentor.

As a Religious Emblems Coordinator, you can also help connect Scouts and their families with the appropriate program and counselor for their faith.

Religious emblems are available for Scouts from many faith traditions, and programs are available for different ages and levels of Scouting.

👉 Interested in helping?

Start by learning about the religious emblem program for your faith and its specific counselor requirements. Some programs allow trained adult volunteers or parents to serve, while others may require clergy or approval from the religious organization.

Illowa Council volunteers — we would love to see more adults helping our Scouts put the 12th point of the Scout Law into action.
