Philmont Grace

A Scout is Reverent. Don’t forget to say grace at your campouts and gatherings. You can use a traditional Scout grace like the Philmont Grace.

This grace is also known as the Wilderness Grace or the Worth Ranch Grace. It is attributed to Jerry Fulkerson from the Worth Ranch Scout Camp in Texas. But it is the grace said at Philmont Scout Ranch as well as many other Scout camps.

For food, for raiment
For life, for opportunity
For friendship and fellowship
We thank thee, O Lord
Amen
