Religious Emblems Display Team Organizes

The [local council] has just announced the formation of the Religious Emblems Display Team. This team is a group of volunteers who are trained to make presentations on religious emblems in order to increase the awareness of these programs. The Religious Emblems Display Team does not provide religious instruction. The purpose of this team is to provide information – information on ALL faiths so that youth members (Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers) will be encouraged to work on and complete the religious emblem of their own faith.

The Religious Emblems Display Team will provide brochures at no charge for distribution at council, district and unit meetings. These brochures answer the most frequently asked questions about religious emblems and provide information on all the programs. The Team also is available to make short presentations at unit meetings on the religious emblem programs. Contact [name] at [phone number] for more information.

Please encourage participation in the religious emblems programs!
