A Scout is reverent toward God. He or she respects the beliefs of others. Reverent means to have a faith, to believe in that faith, and to make your faith stronger by practicing it.
Things your family does or items you have around your home may be symbols of your faith:
Do you pray before you eat or go to bed at night?
Each day, do you express love and kindness to one another?
Do you participate in acts of service and help those in need?
Donating items like food and coats is a great service to others.

Much of this requirement will need to be completed independently of the CUBS program (and often your pack) as it is specific to your faith and family. For more information speak to your religious organization and/ or charter to see if they can or will offer a class.

#3 | Prayer, Meditation, Reflection
A scout is reverent. One way to show reverence is respecting our faith and offering thanks and blessings. You can make up your own simple prayer to say with your family, den, or pack. The BSA pamphlet “A Scout Is Reverent” has some options for interfaith services.
You may create your own prayer or use one like those below:
♦ For health, strength, and daily food, we give you thanks, O God.
♦ For this and all your mercies, God, make us truly grateful.
♦ For food, health, and friendship, we give you thanks, O God.
Five Fingers of Prayers
Five Fingers of Prayers
To make up your own try the five fingers of prayer, where each finder reminds you whom to pray for:
Thumb: Your thumb is the closest to you. Pray for the people closest to you, such as family and friends.
Index finger. This finger points the way. Pray for people who point the way, such as teachers, religious leaders, and Scout leaders.
Middle finger. This finger stands the tallest. Pray for people in authority, such as government leaders.
Ring finger. This finger is the weakest on your hand. Pray for those who are weak, sick, or needy.
Pinky. This finger is the smallest of all. Pray for yourself and your own needs.
