Our First Scouts Read Sacred Texts Worldwide event exceeded everyone's expectations. On May 2, 2024, on the National Day of Prayer, over 3600 youth from 174 councils participated. They read their sacred texts for over 800 hours. Nearly 3900 patches were ordered.
Most Scouts read at home with their families. In addition to the United States, we had Scouts from Kenya, Nigeria, Puerto Rico, Belgium, Bangladesh, Chile, Singapore, Okinawa, and the Philippines. We had several Girl Scouts and youth from other religious organizations that weren't in Scouting.
SCOUTS HAD NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE. WE MADE HISTORY.
Guess what? We are going to repeat this event on May 1, 2025.
We plan to significantly expand our participation and invite other youth organizations plus youth from all Faiths to join us. Some important changes for 2025:
1. We are inviting ALL youth serving organizations, and ALL Faith youth groups to join us.
2. We encourage all youth to read on May 1, the U.S. National Day of Prayer or anytime that week that is convenient.
3. We are suggesting that youth, their families or faith leaders decide the specific texts to be read.
