Guys, I'm just now seeing y'alls comments. Thanks for all your help and advice. Much appreciated!

I've told folks before, I never was in scouts so with my son, this is my only chance to be a part of it. I would like to pursue some awards because it helps me stay the course and I like the idea of showing our scouts that their leaders are interested in doing our best as well. I do agree though, seeking a nomination is awkward. That's why I don't like the idea of nominations because nobody knows those are available. But that's coming from someone who never had the opportunity to be awarded. Oh well...

Thanks blw2 and gumbymaster. I may email them and ask them the question as well. I just wished BSA was a little more clear on what is awarded and what is nominated.

I'm new to cub scouting. I am the CM of our pack and the Tiger den leader. I am going through the Duty to God with my Tigers and since I am pastor of my church I wanted to lead our scouts through this. Most of what I have learned is hours and hours of scavenging the internet. However, the one question I can't get answer very straight forward is this. Does the adult religious knot, the purple knot on silver background, have to be earned or is it nominated on? I understand the honor of nominating leaders for awards however when a new pack starts up, there aren't many that know there are awards that are received through nomination. So a lot of leaders miss out on being awarded.

Amazing book. I read it earlier this year.
