The Eastern Orthodox Committee on Scouting supports
our youth through a extensive Religious Award program.
We have designed the Religious Awards Program around a
scout's spiritual life. It gives the scout a chance to work
closely with their spiritual Father to earn their award.
The unique bond formed at this age is a stepping stone for
the rest of their spiritual life.
We have 3 Youth & 1 Adult Award:
- St. George Award - Grades 1 - 3
- Chi-Rho Award - Grades 4 - 5
- Alpha Omega - Grades 6 - 12
- Prophet Elias Award - Adult Recognition Award
FAQ
How do I earn a religious
award?
- You or your scoutmaster orders the award booklet from
P.R.A.Y. by calling (314) 638-1017 or by visiting
www.praypub.org.
- You work on the booklet along with your parish priest or
spiritual advisor.
- When completed, the priest or spiritual advisor signs the
form in the booklet and you must return it to P.R.A.Y. for
the medal & certificate. Please note that there is a fee
for both the medal and the booklet.
How is the award
presented?
- It is recommended that the award be
presented twice, once at the unit level and also at the end
of a Sunday Church service along with a scout leader to
emphasize that scouting is a viable part of our Orthodox
Youth Ministry.
The Eastern Orthodox Committee on Scouting also has a scholarship
program for deserving scouts. The scholarship is issued yearly to two
scouts. If you would like to donate to the scholarship fund or
