- The following is the second in a series of suggested readings, prayers,
- and responsive readings for use at Scout Sabbath and Scout Sunday
- services. The Responsive reading below is based on the Scout Oath used
- in the United States (BSA) It could easily be modified for other countries.
-
- The Scout Oath
-
- A Responsive Reading
-
- Leader: Our Honor is a quality we possess because of our dignity as
- human beings and children of GOD. Our 'best' means to give all
- we have. It means to keep striving to do what we know is right,
- and in the Oath it means we will try to be good Scouts by
- fulfilling our Scout duties as expressed in the Scout Law.
-
- Cong: ON MY HONOR, I WILL DO MY BEST...
-
- Leader: Our duty to GOD and country means chiefly two things:
- obedience and loyalty. The duties we owe to the House of GOD,
- and to our country, to parents, to one another, and to ourselves
- come from some command of GOD. The Scout Law sums up all the
- qualities a Scout should have and without which he can not be a
- good Scout.
-
- Cong: TO DO MY DUTY TO GOD AND MY COUNTRY, AND TO OBEY THE SCOUT LAW...
-
- Leader: Our Lord told us that love of our neighbor was like the first law
- of love of GOD. The first children of GOD were known by the love
- they had for one another. Real human charity or love prompts us
- to want to help others at all times. Our Scout training will
- give us skills and knowledge that will put us in a better
- position to do this.
-
- Cong: TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE AT ALL TIMES...
-
- Leader: Scouting offers us many opportunities to grow strong physically.
- To be alert and ready requires us to give special care to those
- gifts of soul - intellect and will - that make us unto GOD.
- 'Morally Straight' means we must try to know what is right and
- true, and to love what is good and choose it.
-
- Cong: TO KEEP MYSELF PHYSICALLY STRONG, MENTALLY AWAKE, AND
- MORALLY STRAIGHT.
