Scouts can begin working on their religious square knot as a Wolf and continue working on it through their Webelos year if they want; however, they must receive this award to be eligible to receive the Arrow of Light!
The religious square knot and Arrow of Light are the most prestigious awards in Cub Scouting because they are the only awards that can be worn for a lifetime--they transfer to the Boy Scout uniform and are represented on the adult uniform as leader knots. Since I never was a Cub Scout, I have knot envy for the men who got these awards as kids! (By the way, if you were a Girl Scout and earned your Gold Award, "there's a knot for that" too.) If you love knot bling on your uniform like I do, you'll be interested to know that earning the Young Women medallion as a teenager also qualifies you to wear this purple earned-as-a-youth religious knot!
thank you! Now I don't have to make my own!
