The Boy Scouts of America annually celebrates its founding on February 8, 1910. Scout Sunday is always the Sunday preceding February 8th, unless the 8th is a Sunday, in which case the 8th would be Scout Sunday. However, a chartered organization or local religious organization may choose to celebrate on another day.

The twelfth part of the Scout law is reverent. This means a Scout is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties. He respects the beliefs of others. Scout Sunday is always a good time to reinforce to the boys that “a Scout is reverent.”

Yours in Scouting, Mac McLeod Chaplain
