P.R.A.Y. Program Eligibility Guidelines

 

Girls and boys in grades 1-12 associated with Protestant and Independent Christian Churches are eligible to participate in the P.R.A.Y. program series. Students are required to have original workbooks and present their work to the pastor for final approval. The program must be completed under the auspices of the church.

•  All youth – even if they do not belong to a scouting group – are eligible. This means that Sunday school children and youth group members may earn this award.
   

• The P.R.A.Y. awards have been approved for wear on the official uniforms of the Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., Camp Fire USA, and American Heritage Girls.
   

• The P.R.A.Y. Program is developed by Protestant and Independent Christian churches cooperating with P.R.A.Y. The program requires that the candidate present their work to the pastor (not a parent or scout leader) for final approval.
   

• Children are not required to have official membership in a congregation, but they are required to complete the work under the auspices of the church and present their work to a pastor for final approval.
   

• Children are required to have original workbooks. The curriculum is copyrighted. Please do not copy the workbooks. All candidates must complete the core requirements outlined in the booklets.
   

• Any program that does not fall within these eligibility guidelines must contact the P.R.A.Y. office. Exceptions must be approved in advance by P.R.A.Y.
