Duty to God
Scouting tells us that we should do our best to do our "Duty to God." The Scout Law also shows us that "a Scout is reverent." If you are looking for ways to perform these obligations, the P.R.A.Y. web site has several opportunities. Each youth member has the opportunity to earn their Youth Religious Award knot for their respective faiths. If you know an adult Scouter that is active in their church and the Scouting program they may qualify for the Adult Religious Award for their faith. Please take the time to explore your beliefs and work in your Duty to God and become a more reverent Scout. God Bless!
