There are more than thirty different religious emblems, each representing a different faith. A diverse selection of religious groups participate in the program, including not only well-known groups, such as Baptist and [[Methodist]], but also less-known groups, such as the [[Moravian]] and [[Zoroastrian]] churches. The religious emblems are "created by the various religious groups to encourage youth to grow stronger in their faith. The religious groups, not the youth organizations, have created the emblem programs themselves. Each religious organization develops and administers its own program."{{ref|faq}} Many religious groups  have  separate program for different age levels (e.g., Cubs and Boy Scouts or Cadettes and Brownies) and many though not all also for the different youth organizations. Many also have a program for adult leaders of youth organizations.

The youth organizations do not run the programs and youth organization leaders do not guide the youths through the program (unless they also are the youth's religious leader or mentor).  The youth organizations can choose to decide whether the emblems of a particular religious program will be worn on the youth organization's uniforms (see below for the BSA policy on this).
