Philmont
Training Center:
Religious Emblems for Youth and Adults
Philmont Training Center is offering a course entitled
“Religious Emblems for Youth and Adults.” It will be held
during the relationships week: June 21-27, 2009
and will highlight the “Religious Emblems” course as well as
other courses with a religious emphasis (i.e. Baptist, Catholic,
Jewish, United Methodist). Council
professionals and volunteers responsible for membership, as well
as individuals interested in promoting Duty to God and the
religious emblems programs of all faiths, should plan to attend.
The course will focus on religious emblems as a membership tool,
looking at retention, increasing membership from current
chartered partners and as a tool for reaching under served areas
of your council. The other emphasis of the class will be on
religious emblems as programs that can reinforce BSA values in
boys as well as on how and why to promote them. This course is
open to registered Scouters. Talk to your council about how to
register!
