Reverence and 'Duty to God' are ideals in Scouting that can easily be overlooked in the emphasis on advancement and skills. A simple way to keep ourselves mindful of being reverent is to say a before meal grace when camping. Graces don't have to be solemn, somber prayers - there are a lot that are fun and funny which makes them more memorable. Give your scouts a chance to grow in spirituality by promoting the reverence aspect of scouting by adding a blessing before each meal.

These are a good way to Thank God for all the things he does for us. Some people might say thees are the wrong way to pray but it is not. Thaking God of all he does should be fun to all and mostly to the children, God does not require for up to pray one certain way as long we think Him and talk to Him...

Just a note to say hello to all and to say that this website has so much to offer for new leaders/volunteers such as myself. This section on graces will provide me with some great ideas on how to make a campout or a special dinner/event for my scouts/venturers. I look forward to learning more from this great resource. Thank-You
