The National Day of Prayer is May 1, 2025, and all Scouts & their families are encouraged to participate by reading a portion of their own sacred text at 5:30 p.m. local time on that day. Participants can earn a Scouts Read Sacred Texts patch.

Our First Scouts Read Sacred Texts Worldwide event greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. On May 2, 2024, on the National Day of Prayer, we had over 3600 youth from 177 councils participate.  They read their sacred texts for over 800 hours.  Nearly 3900 patches were ordered.
