Procedures for
Ordering Religious
Emblems and Certificates

 


The religious emblems programs for Catholic scouts within in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati are offered by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati Catholic Committee on (Boy) Scouting, and are administered by the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry (OYYAM), which has downtown locations in both Cincinnati and Dayton. The OYYAM only processes orders for emblems and certificates. Books must be ordered through your local Boy Scout Council or P.R.A.Y. Click here for more info.

By following the links at the bottom of this page, you can access and print out the current order forms. Please follow these important procedures when purchasing emblems and certificates:
 

bullet

All orders must include completed and signed application forms. We cannot provide any more emblems than the number of completed and signed applications we receive. Incomplete forms or missing signatures will result in your order being delayed until the forms are completed.
 

bullet

All orders must be accompanied by payment in the form of a personal or organizational check. We are unable to take credit card payments, and we cannot fill any order that is not pre-paid.
 

bullet

To receive your order by mail, please check that box on the form when you mail it in with your payment (requires additional shipping charges.) Orders will be mailed to the name and address on the top of the form, unless otherwise indicated.
 

bullet

To pick up your order in person, please check that box on the form when you mail it in with your payment (no shipping charges required.) You will be called when your order is ready, and we will schedule a mutually convenient time for you to pick it up.
 

bullet

For all orders, please allow an average processing time of up to 3 weeks from the date that your order is received in our office. Please note that it usually takes at least 3 weeks to receive emblems from the manufacturer, without incurring “rush” shipment charges. During times of peak demand (January through March), please allow extra time for your order to be processed.
 

bullet

If you choose to drop off rather than mail in your order form and payment, please know that we may still require up to 3 weeks to process your order. Orders are filled in the date sequence in which they are received. We cannot set aside or reserve any emblems until we receive an order with payment.
 

bullet

If you have a specific deadline by which you need to receive the emblems, please send a note along with your order. Every effort will be made to meet that deadline, given enough advance notice. We cannot guarantee the availability of emblems from the manufacturer, and can only keep a certain amount of stock on hand in either office location.


We appreciate the time and effort you give to support our Catholic youth. If you have any questions about the above procedures, need help accessing any forms linked to our website, or need additional information about the religious emblems programs, please feel free to contact your nearest OYYAM location:
