Duty to God Promotion Patch
P.R.A.Y.

I attended the Religious Emblems conference at the Philmont Training Center in 2006.  Mark Hazlewood, the Director of P.R.A.Y., led the conference.  It was great being with so many Scouters who wanted to help Scouts fulfill their Duty to God and become better in their faiths.  Mark and the organization at P.R.A.Y. have done a great job setting up this promotion effort.  Their website and the DVD have everything �| scripts, slideshows, FAQs, and other stuff.  Lets get out there and make a difference.  CD

"Duty to God" is at the heart of the Scouting movement. Religious emblems reinforce this spiritual component and promote many of the values found in the Scouting program. The purpose of this "Duty to God Promotion Patch" is to encourage youth and adults to learn about and promote the religious emblems programs.

Requirements �|

Youth and adults must:

• Attend or coordinate a presentation or information seminar on religious emblems (sample resources and suggestions are available at www.praypub.org ).
• Make a commitment to fulfill their "Duty to God."

Here are some examples:

• Adults can commit to having 50% of families participate in the religious emblems programs, nominating a worthy adult to be recognized with an adult religious award, serving as counselor in their local congregation, etc.
• Youth can commit to earning the religious emblem of their faith at an appropriate time, making a presentation on religious emblems to another unit, helping younger Scouts earn their religious emblem, etc.
