Boy Scout Knots

In March of 1946 the Boy Scouts of America announced the first six square knot awards. These Boy Scout Knot awards were to replace the ribbon bars that were being earned at the time. The list of Boy Scout Knots has continued to grow. Some Boy Scout Knots have been discontinued and others have been added. At present there are 34 Boy Scout Knot awards. These awards are worn on the Scouting uniform in place of the plaque or large pendant that they represent.

Generally, the knot awards are worn by adult leaders. But there are a few that may be worn by youth members. Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts may wear the Universal Religious Emblem and the lifesaving and Meritorious Award knots. Explorers may display on their uniforms the same honors plus the Explorer Achievement Award knot.
