Awards
- Kids4Truth Clubs uses patches as awards.
- Kids4Truth Clubs offers two sets of patches: Achiever Patch Set and Basic Patch Set.
- Kids4Truth Clubs offers sashes called Award Standards with the option of cinch bags (drawstring backpacks) for those who prefer a bag over a sash.
- The Award Standard is the “sash” that the award patches are applied to.
- The Award Standards are available in the colors of the four levels of learning and in two sizes for each level of learning.
Level 1: Discoverers Lime 22″ or 23″
Level 2: Developers Red 23″ or 25″

Level 4: Defenders Royal Blue 27″ or 29″
- Each standard holds at least 60 award patches, enough for at least 5 patches for each of the 12 doctrinal themes.
No. If you choose not to use the award patches, RBP highly recommends that you set up a different award system.
- The Achiever Patch Set has all 30 award patches shown in a TruthBook. There are five patches for each of the six doctrinal themes in a TruthBook (book 1 or book 2).
The Basic Patch set has 18 patches for the child’s TruthBook (book 1 or book 2), which are the first 3 patches for each doctrinal theme.
Ironing instructions and a patch placement guide are available both at EquipU and in the Kids4Truth Clubs Training Manual.
- Badge Magic is an easy way to apply patches without ironing.
- E6000 glue or hot glue can be used to apply the patches.

Curriculum: Components and Structure
Children memorize answers to doctrinal questions and their related Bible verses.
No, it is available in printed format only.
Starter Books introduce students to Kids4Truth Clubs. TruthBooks are the student workbooks.
Kids4Truth Clubs curriculum covers 12 doctrinal themes with a core curriculum of 120 doctrinal questions, which is divided into two books.
- Book 1 covers themes 1–6 and questions 1–60.
- Book 2 covers themes 7–12 and questions 61–120.
No. Since “book 1” refers to the first six doctrinal themes and “book 2” refers to the second six doctrinal themes (not ability level), it is not necessary to complete both books before moving to the next level.
No, since “book 1” refers to the first six doctrinal themes and “book 2” refers to the second six doctrinal themes (not ability level), it is not necessary to complete the books in order.

Memory Work
We recommend not requiring word-perfect recitation, as this requirement often discourages children from learning. Rather, we encourage focusing on children knowing and understanding what they are learning.
The children should recite everything after the capital “A” in the answer. This includes the written answer and verse (or part of the verse) that is written in the colored block or on the review page of the TruthBook.
Music
Kids4Truth Clubs music is available in digital formats:
- Downloadable songbook
- Individual song downloads
- MP3 files in both vocal-with-instrumental and instrumental-only versions
The Kids4Truth Clubs songbook includes 8 original Kids4Truth Clubs songs plus 23 historic hymns of the faith.
We provide a limited number of songs to correspond with some of the doctrinal themes. While each club may choose to use their own music, the music we provide is hymn-like in nature and consistent with traditional church hymn styles.
