Dear Lord,

Bless everyone around the world who shapes the lives of Scouts. Help us to not forget what they teach us and to use it every day.

When others aren’t being honest, help us be the ones who are always Trustworthy.
If people around us aren’t sticking by their friends or what they believe in, help us be Loyal.
When it seems like people are focused on material goods and money, help us look for ways to be Helpful.
And when someone’s feeling low, help us be the first to step up and be Friendly.

If people are being rude or mean, help us show them how to be Courteous.
When appearing tough seems like being unkind, help us choose to be Kind instead.
Even when it feels like no one follows the rules, help us be the ones who do, being Obedient.
And if everyone’s grumpy or complaining, help us keep a smile and stay Cheerful.

When those around us are being wasteful, help us be smart and Thrifty.
When facing scary situations or being tempted to take the easy way out, help us be Brave and do the right thing.
If we see litter and pollution everywhere, help us keep ourselves and our places Clean.
And even when people forget to think about what’s really important, help us remember to be Reverent.

So, in a world that’s always saying we need better heroes, show us how to be those heroes. Help us be real Scouts.

Amen.
