Local Scout Presented With Cub Scout Jewish Religious Emblem

The first eleven points of the Boy Scout Law must be demonstrated in order to go from one rank to the next, including Eagle.  The 12^th point –“A Scout is Reverent”– can be demonstrated in a variety of ways including the earning of the religious award of the Scout’s individual faith.

As with all the religious emblems, these are not an award for Scouting skills, but rather an emblem authorized by the Boy Scouts of America to be worn on the Scout’s uniform after satisfactory completion of the necessary requirements.  For the 8 to 11 year old Cub Scouts, the Aleph Emblem requires seven areas of study, including Torah, prayers, religious holidays, the synagogue or temple, Bible heroes, famous American Jews, and the land of Israel.

In observance of the 12th point of the Scout Law, Webelos Cub Scout Skyler Roth of  Cub Scout Pack 329 (Commack)  was presented with the Aleph Emblem on February 8, 2015, by JCOS Member Phyllis Stein.  Webelos Scout Skyler Roth  was presented with a medal, certificate, and  a purple and silver “scouting religious emblem knot”.   He was recognized for his efforts at his Cub Scout Pack ‘s Blue and Gold Luncheon on February 8^th and during the February 6, 2015 Scout Sabbath services at the East Northport Jewish Center.

Webelos Cub Scout Skyler Roth of  Cub Scout Pack 329 (Commack)  is the son of Kurt and Melissa Roth and brother of Hayden and Shaina.   Now Boy Scout Skyler Roth, the Aleph Emblem recipient crossed the bridge to become a member of Boy Scout Troop 174 (Elwood) during the Blue and Gold Dinner.
