12thPoint

The home defines and gives attention to the religious side of the youth member's life.

For help on the Webelos Badge, please [[ http://usscouts.org/advance/cubscout/webelos.asp click here]].

From what you mentioned, under 8e, I would suggest any two of these:

• Discuss with your family and Webelos den leader how your religious beliefs fit in with the Scout Oath <http://usscouts.org/advance/boyscout/bsoathlaw.asp#Oath> and Scout Law <http://usscouts.org/advance/boyscout/bsoathlaw.asp#Law> , and what character-building traits your religious beliefs have in common with the Scout Oath <http://usscouts.org/advance/boyscout/bsoathlaw.asp#Oath> and Scout Law <http://usscouts.org/advance/boyscout/bsoathlaw.asp#Law> .
• For at least a month, pray or meditate reverently each day as taught by your family, and by your church, temple, mosque, synagogue, or religious group.
• List at least two ways you believe you have lived according to your religious beliefs.

The second one could simply be saying grace before dinner. The third could be simply doing his best to follow the 12 points of the Scout Law.

For a broader view:

The following are excerpts from the national website.

• Young people need faith. There is abundant evidence that children benefit from the moral compass provided by religious tradition. We acknowledge that faith can become an important part of a child's identity. Each of the major faiths breeds hope, optimism, compassion, and a belief in a better tomorrow. Scouting encourages each young person to begin a spiritual journey through the practice of his or her faith tradition. One of the key tenets of Scouting is "duty to God." While Scouting does not define religious belief for its members, it has been adopted by and works with youth programs of all major faiths.
• The Boy Scouts of America maintains that no member can grow into the best kind of citizen without recognizing an obligation to God and, therefore, recognizes the religious element in the training of the member, but it is absolutely nonsectarian in its attitude toward that religious training. Its policy is that the home and organization or group with which a member is connected shall give definite attention to religious life.

So this is something to discuss with your family. You don't have to "go to church" to fulfill this. The central theme is that "there is something out there, greater than ourselves (mankind)." Forces we cannot control or even understand, not explainable (defined) by science.

Also consider the non-denominational Philmont Grace that we say in Scouts.

For food, for raiment, For life, for opportunities, For friendship and fellowship, We thank Thee, O Lord. Amen.

We are thankful for what we have. It is human nature to always want more, but lack of appreciate for what we have leads to taking for granted (to assume as true, real, or expected, to value too lightly) what we have, which is destructive. "
