Field Worship Guide for Scout Chaplains and Chaplain's Aides: A compass for Scouts seeking spiritual enrichment and understanding (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798881238391)

This field guide, designed for troop Chaplain's Aides, Religious Emblems Coordinators, and Chaplains, is designed as a companion resource for the Scouting community. While efforts have been made to adapt worship materials for a nonsectarian environment, certain traditional content remains unaltered to honor the diversity of religions. The guide emphasizes the concept of "Duty to God," which Scouts encounter during the recitation of the Scout Oath or Promise. An oath, solemnly invoking God's presence, underscores the truthfulness of one's words and sincere commitment to fulfilling promises. The Twelfth Point of the Scout Law "A Scout is REVERENT" reinforces this duty, urging Scouts to treat all with deep respect, honor, and unwavering love. This field guide offers a wealth of resources for Scouts and leaders navigating matters of faith. Key sections include: 1. A Scout's Duty to God: Explores the foundational concept of duty to a higher power, as reflected in the Scout Oath. 2. The Unit Chaplain: Provides insights into the role of the unit chaplain within the Scouting community. 3. The Unit Chaplain's Aide: Details the responsibilities and contributions of the chaplain's aide. 4. The Religious Emblems Program: A comprehensive overview of the program designed to recognize Scouts' spiritual achievements. 5. Interfaith "Scout's Own" Service: Guidance on organizing inclusive, interfaith gatherings. 6. GRACES: A collection of mealtime blessings. 7. PRAYERS: Includes morning or opening prayers, expressions of gratitude, and interfaith prayers. 8. BENEDICTIONS: Blessings for closing ceremonies. 9. RESPONSIVE READINGS: Scout Oath and Scout Law responses. 10. SONGS: A selection of Scout-themed, traditional religious, contemporary religious, and patriotic songs. 11.
