The National Catholic Committee on Scouting, acting through the local diocese or eparchy, may award the St.George emblem to members of the laity and clergy, Scouters and non-Scouters alike, who have made significant and outstanding contributions to the spiritual development of Catholic youth through Scouting.
The recipients of the emblem are to be sought after and selected by an active committee of the diocese. Nomination forms should give a detailed description of how the nominee provides the above-mentioned spiritual contribution. No self-nominations.
General Scouting achievements do not qualify a person to receive the St.George emblem. The Boy Scouts of America has district, council, regional and national awards for such recognition.
