Instructions for Using These Resources
The Big Book of Scout Worship Services is arranged in sections, 1-11. These represent each section of the worship service.
Rule for success: The service should last no more than 10-15 minutes.
Decide which sections that you want to have, choose a scout for each section, then let each pick what they want to read from that section.
For example, say you choose
- 1. Call to Worship/Invocations
- 2. Opening Prayers
- 4. Scriptural Readings
- 5. Responsive Readings
- 7. Meditations — More can be found here
- 9. Song
- 11. Benedictions
Then the scouts choose
- 1.10, based on Isaiah 55:6
- 2.3 Brotherhood
- 4.06 For everything there is a season
- 5.9 The Scout Law (version 2)
- 7.03 A Scout Leader's Wish
- 9.03 Amazing Grace — Song Sheet that can be read on a phone!
- 11.05 A Scouting Benediction
