The Boy Scouts of America Duty to God and Country Prayer Breakfast had over 100 attendees this past Veteran’s Day! The event was held at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center and the keynote speaker was Major General James A. Adkins, Adjutant General of Maryland.
The community was invited to celebrate the 12th point of the Scout Law – “A Scout Is Reverent.”
For over 104 years, Scouting’s young men have declared on their honor to do their best in their duty to God in the Scout Oath. We are reminded in the twelfth point of the Scout Law; to always be reverent. Sir Baden Powell, founder of Scouting said, “Duty to God is an integral part of the Scouting program. There is no religious side to the Scout movement. The whole of it is based on religion; that is on becoming aware of God and His Service.” The eventhonored God and the over 10,000 youth on the Delmarva peninsula who pledged their duty to God.
