SCOUT SUNDAY

Introduction

Welcome to Scout Sunday at Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, where we proudly celebrate the contributions of Scouts in our community. Explore the significance of this special day, learn about its history, and join us in honoring the values and achievements of Scouts in our society.

A Brief History of Scout Sunday

Scout Sunday is an annual event that brings together faith-based organizations and the Scouting movement. It recognizes the positive influence Scouts have on their communities and their commitment to upholding core values such as service, leadership, and character development.

The origins of Scout Sunday can be traced back to the early 20th century when a number of religious leaders recognized the importance of Scouting in nurturing young minds and fostering positive character development. These leaders embraced the principles of Scouting and sought to establish a day dedicated to celebrating the shared values between Scouting and faith-based organizations.

Since then, Scout Sunday has grown into a cherished tradition observed by numerous religious institutions around the world. It serves as an opportunity to honor the contributions of Scouts and to strengthen the bond between Scouting and faith communities.
