The Religious rewards program is an integral part of scouting in Troop 373 .  Our Charter Organization is Sierra Madre Congregational Church - SMCC.  The majority of our scouts are Christian, but we encourage scouts of all religions to earn the scouting religious award of their faith.

Most major religious organizations and denominations have religious education program that a religious emblem award is given at completion (check the links below for more information).  When a boy completes a recognized religious emblem program, he is awarded and can wear the religious knot emblem on his everyday uniform and can also get a medal for wearing at formal occasions.  Some of the religious emblem programs offer multiple awards based on age or grade level.

Scouts promise to do their duty to God, and the religious emblem program is one way that Scouts can fulfill this promise.
            SCOUT OATH

 On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
 mentally awake, and morally straight.
We define duty to God as putting God first in our life, so that all other things will line up in place according to His will.
