A Statement Regarding "Duty to God and My Country"

Post date: Apr 10, 2013 1:35:08 AM

Scouting has been recognized by Muslims as a great movement uniting the youth of the world under the banner of mutually held and valued spiritual, patriotic and moral ideals. Our concern is to fulfill our responsibilities toward the Muslim youth and to prepare them for the leadership roles of tomorrow in the nations where they reside as citizens in this world that we all share. The spiritual bond, while not exemplifying one religion over another, can readily be recognized in the opening phrase of the Scout’s Oath: “On my honor I will do my best, to do my duty to God and my country.”
