Every summer, Scouts head towards summer camp. Spending a week in the woods, or a nearby park, experiencing the awesome wonder that is the outdoors. During their time in nature, they often reconnect to their belief in a higher power, as who can help but doing so when surrounded by God’s wonders. They spend the whole year looking forward to this opportunity, and this year we find that exceptionally hard. Due to social distancing, we have lost our “Scouting as Usual” summer plans.
The National Religious Relationships Committee of the Boy Scouts of America want to continue “Scouting as Usual as We Can Make It”. Therefore, we are filling the gap of missed in-person events with a family version of our Duty to God summer classes in the virtual world.
We invite you to gather your “Family Patrol” and join us for a week filled with excitement, learning, crafts, challenges, discussions, trivia, and so much more. Join us for the whole week, or catch the sessions as you have time in your busy schedule. We are offering over 60 different program options throughout the week, all free of charge. We will do our best to record and post to YouTube all the sessions throughout the week, except for those that YPT asks us not to because of personal stories being shared and youth being involved.
So pull up a chair, relax on the couch or in a hammock outside, and enjoy this Virtual Interfaith Week brought to you by the NRRC.
