Scout Prayer
The Boy Scouts of America use many Scout Prayers. All packs/dens/troops should keep a "Prayer Book"; one Scout takes it home each week and inscribes in it his own prayer to read out at the end of a meeting.
Official prayers are widely used by groups that don't use a Prayer Book or when the Prayer Book is not available. Different groups use slight variations of these. This happens from an incorrect teaching of the prayer, an adaptation for a specific country, or other reasons.

“After a pause at Ball’s Hill, the St. Anne’s of Concord voyageurs, not to say any prayer for the success of our voyage, but to gather the few berries which were still left on the hills, hanging by very slender threads, we weighed anchor again, and were soon out of sight of our native village. The land seemed to grow fairer as we withdrew from it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
