Scout Sunday

A SCOUT IS REVERENT
The Boy Scouts of America designates the Sunday that falls before
February 8 (Scouting Anniversary Day) as Scout Sunday, which is the
primary date to recognize the contributions of young people and adults
to Scouting. However, each chartered organization can use either of
two other options to celebrate this special day.

An organization can adopt a specific Sunday to celebrate. In the
instance of the United Methodist Church, Scout Sunday is celebrated on
the second Sunday in February. It also is permissible for a local
church to celebrate on the Sunday most acceptable to the pastor and
congregation.

AS A REMINDER, PLEASE REMEMBER TO WEAR YOUR UNIFORM ON SCOUT SUNDAY.
