Scout(s)/youth can elect to earn any of the patches or all of the patches. Once scouts/youth have completed the prerequisite requirements and activities, please order the patch/patches utilizing the order form in the back of the workbook. The cost of each patch is $10. Each patch comes with it’s own pocket certificate.
Also, please do not forget to send us pictures of the scouts/youth engaged in the various activities. The pictures may appear on our FaceBook page, website, The Journal of Christian Education, or in The Christian Recorder (the world’s oldest Black newspaper) to promote the series.
It is our prayer that scouts/youth will enjoy learning about the Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Please feel free to share the workbooks with others.
