Karman Singh has been a scout since he was in kindergarten. Learning through adventures to earn ranks has been a great learning experience.

Scouting principles align well with Sikh life. Three basic principles of Sikh religion are: Naam Japo (always remember God almighty), Kirat Karo (Do good deeds and earn an honest living) and Vand chhakko (share with others).

A Sikh religious emblem can be earned by any scout. A scout needs to complete and answer questions in a workbook and pass an interview with the counselor from American Sikh Council. Karman Singh passed and was able to earn his Sikh Scout Religious Emblem Award.

Many blessings to all scouts to achieve the highest level.
