What is God and Country?
It is a Christian education series that
  • Includes Bible lessons and service projects
  • Involves adult counselors, families, Christian mentors
  • Provides recognition items that may be worn on the official BSA uniform
Why promote God and Country?
  • To help Scouts learn to be reverent to God
  • To serve as an outreach program into the community
  • To help young people internalize the values they learn in Scouting and relate them to their faith
How do you set up a God and Country class?
  • Obtain the curriculum booklets and talk to your pastor
  • Use the Counselor Manual to decide a class schedule
  • Reserve dates and recruit teachers
  • Recognize the recipients in a worship service (Scout Sunday is a perfect time to recognize recipients!)
