About
the Blessing
This blessing
may be used to bless all scouts and scout leaders or personalized
for use with Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Camp Fire Boys and
Girls. It is recommended that the blessing be used on or near
Scout Sunday (usually celebrated on the first Sunday in February
for Boy Scouts and the first Sunday in March for Girls Scouts).
Ideas
for Integrating Scouts into the Worship Service
Scouts should
be instructed to wear their uniforms and sit in a reserved
section during the Mass(es) in which the blessing is to be
used. Scouts can also be invited to assist with the liturgy
by serving as ministers of hospitality, ushers, as well as
bringing up the gifts, serving as lectors and altar servers.
Scouts also may write and read the general intercessions.
Scouts earning
Catholic emblems or medals during the past year may be called
forward to have these re-presented by the presider or scout
leader(s). Invite the scout groups to put a table or photo
collage of their work and ministry in the entrance area, focusing
on how scouting assists young people in their faith journey.
Blessing
of Scouts
Almighty
God,
Bless these young people who have committed themselves
to the pursuit of Scouting (Camp Fire).
Allow their minds to be broadened,
their hopes to be raised,
and their futures filled with promise
as they grow in knowledge and wisdom through Scouting (Camp
Fire).
As they learn more about you and your ways,
may they be inspired to reach out in service
to all in need as they strive to become disciples
in our world today.
May all their efforts guide each of them
to know, to love, and to serve you
now and throughout their lives.
We ask this blessing through Jesus Christ,
Our risen Lord and Savior.
AMEN.
