Welcome to the home of the NLAS.
We are a resource for youth and adults who wish to know more about the religious emblems program, endorsed by the Lutheran Churches for members of Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts USA, 4H and Camp Fire USA.

The Fall 2009 Lutheran Scouting newsletter (464 KB) is available.
Honor your Scout Leaders on BSA’s 100th Anniversary!
Have your leaders been active in Scouting for 5 years or more?
Are they also active in their faith community?
Perhaps they’re eligible for an Adult Religious Recognition. The adult awards are joint recognitions by local BSA councils and congregations. These awards are by nomination only. The process involves filling out a nomination form, writing a letter of nomination, securing signatures, and planning the presentation ceremony. Please note that each award has its own eligibility requirements so you need to review them carefully. Several nomination forms are available at www.praypub.org. Scout Sunday is coming up quickly. Plan now to submit a nomination!
Your leaders are giving their time to serve young people. Salute your leaders and encourage them in their service by nominating them to receive a national recognition!
