Youth
Administered by the non-profit P.R.A.Y., the Religious Emblems programs are developed by the national religious organizations to encourage their members to grow stronger in their faith. The scouting agencies have approved of these programs and allow the awards to be worn on the official uniforms.
The following awards can be received by Lutheran youth who are members of Scouting America, Girls Scouts, Camp Fire or 4-H.
*Administered by the NLAS, the Four Star Scholarship is available only to youth registered in Girl Scouts of the USA or Scouting America who have successfully earned four (4) P.R.A.Y. Program awards and are high school seniors.
Adults
The NLAS has established two awards to recognize worthy adult Scouters for their outstanding service to Lutheran youth. Adult recognition awards are by nomination only, they are not work/study programs like the youth awards.
Scouting Units
Established by the NLAS to recognize outstanding Girl Scout troops, Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, Explorer posts and Venturing crews that are chartered by Lutheran congregations or other Lutheran organizations.
