Invocation

Lord, we stand before you this afternoon, in awe of your glory and in gratitude for all

your blessings. We thank you for bringing us together as a family of Scouts, gathered to

celebrate the accomplishments of these scouts in attaining the rank of Eagle Scout. We ask for

your love and joy be given to them, their family, their fellow Scouts and Scout Leaders, friends

and guests who are assembled here. We pray that you would bless this celebration as we rejoice

with them. Use this ceremony Lord to inspire vision and to encourage others to follow the Eagle

path. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Benediction

O God our Creator and Father, we thank you for the gift of Scouting, by which you form

young persons to be servants and leaders. And we thank you especially for these four new Eagle

Scouts, for the mentors and friends who have helped him, and for the hard work you have helped

them perform to earn the highest rank in Scouting as an Eagle Scout. 

May you continue to help them, and all who witness this ceremony today, to do our duty to God

and our country; To help other people at all times; To keep ourselves physically strong, mentally

awake and morally straight, as we strive to be Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous,

Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.

In all these virtues, may we always seek to embody the values of Jesus Christ our Savior, and

imitate him as our Lord. For it is in His name we pray. Amen.
