One
of the most simple and memorable verses to me is the
Philmont Grace.
Do
you know it? Do
you live it?
|
|
FOR FOOD
|
For the food of combined thought from all over our great country, to
help us grow wiser in scouting.
|
|
FOR RAIMENT
|
For our scouting uniform, which we have not only the blessing to
wear,but the duty to honor.
|
|
FOR LIFE
|
For a life of freedom in these great United States,
a nation unsurpassed anywhere on this fragile planet, where we are
truly free to live the aims of scouting.
|
|
FOR OPPORTUNITY
|
For the opportunity of Philmont and this scouting event itself.
To be here with you, some
of the finest in the scouting movement.
|
|
FOR FRIENDSHIP
|
For
those we have met at Philmont, and grown to respect through that common
interest, our devotion to the development of the youth.
|
|
AND
FELLOWSHIP
|
To share a laugh. To help a
friend in some small way. To
share a sunrise, a sunset,
this scouting event. To
return, if only for a moment,
to our youth again and together climb a mountain, and reach the stars.
|
|
WE THANK YOU GOD
|
Our
thanks goes to the one who we individually believe allows
us to share the scouting experience with
all.
