Welcome

God has smiled on this gathering and on our activities, and so we come together to celebrate God’s blessings and return thanks for all He has done for us.

Scripture Reading 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 – Generosity Encouraged

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
    Their righteousness endures forever.”

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

Responsive Reading

Leader: From the East, the direction of the rising sun, we receive peace and light and wisdom and knowledge.
All: We are grateful for these gifts, O God.
Leader: From the South comes warmth, guidance, and the beginning and the end of life.
All: We are grateful for these gifts, O God.
Leader: From the West comes the rain, purifying water, to sustain all living things.
All: We are grateful for these gifts, O God.
Leader: From the North comes the cold and mighty wind, the white snows, giving us strength and endurance.
All: We are grateful for these gifts, O God.
Leader: From the heavens we receive darkness and light, the air of your breath, and messages from your winged creatures.
All: We are grateful for these gifts, O God.
Leader: From the earth we come and to the earth we will return.
All: We are grateful for these gifts, O God.
Leader: A Scout is Reverent – Let us pray
Let us go forward,
forward, for the glory of God.
At each day’s waking, embrace God.
In each day’s working, serve God.
In each day’s playing, enjoy God.
At each day’s struggling, thank God.
-Amen.

Story – Eagle … or Prairie Chicken?
A Shawnee brave found an eagle’s egg and put it into the nest of a prairie chicken. The eaglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them. All its life the changeling eagle, thinking it was a prairie chicken, did what the other prairie chickens did. It scratched the dirt for seeds and insects to eat. It clucked and cackled. And it flew in a brief thrashing of wings and flurry of feathers no more than a few feet off the ground. After all, that’s how prairie chickens were supposed to fly. Years passed, and the changeling eagle grew very old. One day it saw a magnificent bird soaring far above the cloudless sky. Hanging with graceful majesty on the powerful wind currents, it soared with scarcely a beat of its strong golden wings. “What a beautiful bird!” said the changeling eagle to its neighbor. “What is it?” “That’s an eagle – the chief of the birds”, the neighbor clucked. “But don’t give it a second thought. You could never be like him.” So the changeling eagle never gave it another thought. And it died thinking it was a prairie chicken.

Message – Are you prepared to fly?
As a leader in your Scout troop, in school, in your religious institution, in your family –
are you prepared to soar like an eagle, or will you spend your life clucking like a prairie chicken?

Closing Prayer
Chief Yellow Lark of Seattle Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds, and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me. I come before you, one of your many children. I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom. Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made, my ears sharp to hear your voice; make me wise, so that I may know the things you have taught my people, the lesson you have hidden in every leaf and rock. I seek strength not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able to fight my greatest enemy – myself. Make me ever ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes, so when life fades as a fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame. -Amen.
