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.

Famous quotes containing the words scout and/or prayer:
“Simone Clouseau: Jacques would make a wonderful father. He has many redeeming qualities, you know.
Sir Charles: Name one.
Simone Clouseau: Oh, he’s kind, loyal, faithful, obedient.
Sir Charles: You’re either married to a boy scout or a dachshund.”
—Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
“Is not prayer also a study of truth,—a sally of the soul into the unfound infinite? No man ever prayed heartily, without learning something. But when a faithful thinker, resolute to detach every object from personal relations, and see it in the light of thought, shall, at the same time, kindle science with the fire of the holiest affections, then will God go forth anew into creation.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
