This award is designed specifically for Scouts and Scouters to work with their spiritual advisor to meet requirements that explore their own religious backgrounds and beliefs. Scouters should make youth aware of this award, as it can be tied to school work and school religious education studies.

This award is exclusive of the Spirituality Award. Youth may earn one or the other, but not both.
