Boy Scouts of America Duty to God and Country Prayer Breakfast set for Veteran's Day

Salisbury, MD – The 2014 Boy Scouts of America Duty to God and Country Prayer Breakfast will be held on Veteran's Day, Tuesday, November 11 at the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center in Salisbury. The keynote speaker will be Major General James A. Adkins, Adjutant General of Maryland.

For over 104 years, Scouting's young men have declared on their honor to do their best in their duty to God in the Scout Oath. We are reminded in the twelfth point of the Scout Law; to always be reverent. Sir Baden Powell, founder of Scouting said, "Duty to God is an integral part of the Scouting program. There is no religious side to the Scout movement. The whole of it is based on religion; that is on becoming aware of God and His Service." The event will honor God and the over 10,000 youth on the Delmarva peninsula who pledge their duty to God. The community is invited to celebrate the 12th point of the Scout Law - "A Scout Is Reverent."

Doors open at 6:45 a.m. and the event will begin at 7 a.m. Tickets are $30 per person and are available at http://www.delmarvacouncil.org/event/1605254.

I don't know how they can still support Duty to God after allowing homosexuality in to their ranks. All of the religions teachings show homosexuality as an abomination.

Just a tad too much hypocrisy!

I'm a little confused here. Is this the Pray Breakfast that is usually held at the Civic Center or something new?
Not sure if I want to support this event given the recent actions of the BSA.

732 I don't understand how churches like Asbury and Bethesda can still support Boy Scout Troops. The homosexuals will not be satisfied until they opened it up to Gay leaders. Enrollment is falling every year and when this happens that will be the end of the BSA.
