The Duty to God & Country Breakfast celebrates exemplary individuals who have demonstrated faithful service and a steadfast commitment to their religious duty in Scouting along with service to their country.
A SCOUT’S PLEDGE TO HONOR GOD & COUNTRY
Duty to God
The Scout Oath begins with duty to God and the Scout Law ends with reverence. A Scout is Reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties and respects the convictions of others in matters of customs and religion.
Duty to Country
The Boy Scouts of America are synonymous with American values and patriotism. A Scout has a duty to be a good citizen, obey the law, work to make a stronger nation, and defend it and its principals.
In the Scout Oath, a Scout promises “On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, to help other people at all times”. The Scout motto asks one to “Be Prepared”. The Scout slogan reminds one to “Do a good turn daily”. These ideals work together: you promise to help, you can help because you have learned how, and you do help because you care about people. Scouts want the best for everyone, and act to make that happen.
