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)
“... it was religion that saved me. Our ugly church and parochial school provided me with my only aesthetic outlet, in the words of the Mass and the litanies and the old Latin hymns, in the Easter lilies around the altar, rosaries, ornamented prayer books, votive lamps, holy cards stamped in gold and decorated with flower wreaths and a saint’s picture.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
