A Prayer for Scout Leaders

O Lord, we thank you for the work of Sir Robert Baden-Powell,
who in his dedication and wisdom founded the World Scouting Movement.

We thank you for the efforts of those thousands of men and
women who have brought Scouting to millions of boys the world over.

We rededicate ourselves to the principles of our movement – To do
our best, to do our duty To God and to our Country.

We ask you, O Lord, to give us the strength and courage, each of us,
to do our best for the little boy in the orange shirt who has just come home from his first

Tiger Cub meeting full of excitement and enthusiasm, the new Boy Scout
on his first campout full of wonder, the young man becoming an Eagle, full of pride.
