A Scout is Reverent



A Scout is reverent. He is reverent toward God.

He is faithful in his religious duties and respects the convictions of others in matters of custom and religion.


Families, be involved and encourage your scout to continually pray, praise, and practice their faith.


Hear what Father Samuel Medley had to say about Boy Scouts
 and about their relationship with God.

Scouting Inter-Faith Religious Calendar 2015-2016


Calendar of Religious Dates         2015-2016

There are certain dates and religious observances that must be adhered to by the individual. Arrangements must be made for participation in special services.

The Islamic (Muslim) year begins with Muharram.   All Islamic dates are subject to sighting of the moon; an event may be one day earlier or later than the date listed.

According to the Eastern Orthodox Church calendar, the day begins after evening vespers at sunset and concludes with vespers on the following day. For this reason, the observance of all Eastern Orthodox holy days begins at sunset on the evening before the holy day.

Jewish holidays begin at sundown of the first date listed and end at nightfall of the last date listed.  A religious institution has the option of celebrating Scout Sunday/Scout Sabbath at its discretion.  For example, the United Methodist Church always celebrates Scout Sunday on the second Sunday in February.

Note:

* Usually begins at sundown the day before this date.

** Local customs may vary this date.
