Scout Prayers

A Scout's Prayer

We have hiked along life's pathway,

Our packs upon our backs,

We have pitched our tents and rested

Here and there along the tracks.

We have used our compass wisely

To guide us on our way

And hope to reach the campsite

Of our Great Chief Scout some day.

We have tried to be trustworthy -

Kept our honor high and clean,

We have been as loyal as any

To our Country and our Queen.

We have done our best at all times -

Kept our Promise - been prepared,

And hope our good deeds please Him

When at last our souls are bared.

We have lightened others' burdens,

With our smiles along the way,

We have kept our hand in God's hand,

Walked beside Him day by day.

And when our span of life runs out,

We'll make this gentle plea -

May we sit around His Campfire

At the Final Jamboree.

Simple Blessing

May you walk in Peace,

Live with Love,

work with Joy,

and May Your God go with you.

Akela, Make Me An Eagle

Give me the strength to stand for right

When other folks have left the fight,

Give me the courage of the eagle

Who knows that if he will, he can.

Teach me to see in every face

The good, the kind, and not the base.

Make me sincere in word and deed,

Blot out from me all shame and greed,

Help me to guard my troubled soul

By constant, active, self-control.

Clean up my thoughts, my speech, my play,

And keep me pure from day to day.

O, Akela, make of me an Eagle!

Bless All These Busy Cubs

Bless all these busy Cubs, dear God!

Grant they true Cubs may be-

For if they follow all Cub rules,

They won’t stray far from Thee.

Bless all, dear God, who guide them,

Crown each effort, noble true-

Sustain the good Cub mothers,

They need Thy blessings, too!

Bless Our Cub Scouts

Bless our Cub Scouts, Lord we pray,

Keep them healthy, all the day.

Let them know their Cub Scout sign,

Have it always on their mind.

If they do, we promise them

They’ll become good future men.

Hear their prayers at night and day,

Guide them, Lord, along their way.

Amen.

Cub Scout Prayer

Lord, in this evening hour I pray,

For strength to do my best each day.

Draw near to me that I may see,

The kind of Cub that I should be.

In serving other, let me see,

That I am only serving Thee.

Bless me, Oh Lord, in Thy great love,

That I may be a better Cub.
