Novena to be faithful to our Promise
Pray this novena to remain faithful to your Scout Promise, or any promise made to God, with meditations from priests and scouts around the world.
The novena
This novena is to help you be faithful to your Promise or promises. It will start on the 14 February to finish on the 22 February, which is Founders' Day, birthday of Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, and his wife's.
The Scout Promise
On my honour, with God's grace, I pledge to do my best to serve God, the Church, my Country and Europe, to help my neighbour at all times, and to comply with the Scout/Guide Law.
A pledge is a promise.
On the day we made our Scout Promise, we didn't make it to our Scout leader, or to the Priest. We promised to God.
As God is eternally faithful in His love to us, we should be eternally faithful in our promises to Him. This novena will help us to restate our Promise made to God. And for those of you who didn't make a Scout Promise, this novena can be the opportunity for you to turn to God and be faithful to your own personal promises and to God.
This novena consists of 9 days of prayer.
Day 1 : On my honour
Day 2 : With God's grace
Day 3 : Serve God
Day 4 : Serve the Church
Day 5 : Serve my Country
Day 6 : Serve Europe (or our Christian roots)
Day 7 : Help my neighbour at all times
Day 8 : Comply with the Scout/Guide law
Day 9 : Renewal of our Promise and promises
Everyday you will receive:
- a Reading from the Bible 📖
- a quote from a scout personality or a scout text 📕
- a short meditation 🕯️
- the Scout Prayer 🙏
