Relationships Division Resources 2008–2009 A Bibliography of Materials for Council Use With Chartered Organizations
04-400.indd 1 6/24/08 10:15:10 AM Foreword
The purpose of the Relationships Division is to support local councils as they work with local organizations to extend the Scouting program through new-unit organization. We initiate contact on a national basis with the organizations to provide qualified prospects for new units.
In the pages of this guide, you’ll find resources for establishing and maintain- ing relationships with the community, with religious groups, and with labor organizations. We’ve also included a handy reference chart with detailed information on the religious emblems programs available through the Boy Scouts of America, as well as a list of available special-interest literature and a valuable compendium of BSA Web resources.
The materials listed in this catalogue are merely a “snapshot” of what exists in the Relationships Division. We are constantly improving, updating, and creating new materials. We hope that you find these materials useful.

God and Country Mentor Program A mentor is someone who serves as a living example for another person. This God and Country mentor program is designed to help adults look directly at what it means to serve as a Christian mentor and it gives suggestions for how to have a positive Christian influence on a child. The mentor curriculum is designed for adults to work with a young person who is enrolled in the God and Country program series. This mentor program does not replace the traditional God and Country series; it is an optional approach available to adults.
The mentor program is not to be confused with the adult recognition awards. An adult who completes the mentor studies will receive a certificate and a lapel pin for wear on non-uniform clothing. Catholic Relationships
