The Community Organization Award square knot might not be easy to earn, but it\u2019s now easier to get.<\/p>\n

You can buy the knot, recognizing Scouters\u2019 volunteer achievements in national charter organizations such as the Elks, Alpha Phi Omega, the Masonic Lodge, and more, at your local Scout Shop\u2014instead of going through your charter organization.<\/p>\n
