Scouts Read Sacred Texts
Last year, 3,673 Scouts from around the world made history on May 2, the United States National Day of Prayer. The first Scouts Read Sacred Texts Worldwide event exceeded expectations. Scouts read sacred texts for over 800 hours collectively. Most Scouts read at home with their families. In addition to the United States, Scouts from Kenya, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, Belgium, Bangladesh, Chile, Singapore, Japan, and the Philippines. This year, youth of every faith are invited to join in reading their Sacred Texts the week of May 1 which is the US National Day Of Prayer. Last year, at Salem United Methodist Church in Ladue had Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Hindus, and Muslims all reading their sacred texts. They plan to repeat that this year and will include Methodist youth not in Scouting. For more information or to register to participate go to https://stlbsa.org/scouts-read-sacred-texts-worldwide/.
