The COM emblem shown to the left was designed to provide opportunities to witness about faith in Jesus Christ. The design - a fish encircled by a compass - promotes conversation. The fish, an early Christian symbol, denotes personal acceptance of Jesus as Savior. The compass star symbolizes the expanse of God's creation and reminds members that, wherever they roam, God is present as they seek Him in recreation. God's eternal existence and bountiful love for all people are represented by the circle surrounding the design. A benefit of the distinctive emblem is that members displaying it are easily identified by one another and often join for Christian fellowship as they go.

The North Carolina COM emblem (shown on the home page) includes the National emblem. Its animated character reflects at once the camping spirit of the organization as its members forward the cause of Jesus Christ in the world.
