Rerating

[edit]

I set the importance to low: There is not much to say about Scout prayers beyond "Prayers said by or especially formulated for Scouts". --jergen 11:29, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Is this article a noteable or a bogus Wiki article? When I was a Scout in the BSA, I belonged to a total of four different troops as a result of family moves (with the troops sponsored by two different Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ), one Baptist church, and one Episcopal church) and I never once encountered the Scout prayer books as described by this article.

    Outside of materials pertaining to the diversity of religion in the Scout Handbook, Scout Oath, Scout Laws, merit badges, or external (and optional) religious awards information requested by individual boy scouts, I would have to say this Scout prayer book section is suspect. I suggest that this non-referenced article is attempt to exert the desire of a few of the many and the aricle should be be considered for deletion.Bee Cliff River Slob 05:41, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was a cub scout and boy scout - I have NEVER heard of any of this, and it stinks to high heaven (pun intended). If I were a little more experienced, I'd mark it for swift deletion. A Doon (talk) 00:33, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

BSA-specific?

[edit]

The chosen prayers seem to be BSA-centered; we should move the article to Scout prayer (BSA) or include some non-BSA prayers whilst removing the BSA ones. I'm against including all know Scout prayers: As am member of a Protestant Scout organization I know at least 20 German frequently used Scout prayers. --jergen 11:29, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How about a merge to Religion in Scouting? --Gadget850 ( Ed) 15:18, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

5 years on and this is still a complete mess. The lede talks about the US, yet we have a Rover Prayer when the US does not really have Rovers and the Cub Scout one, which was recently replaced and I added back because I found a source, is from the UK. It was almost totally lacking in references before I added two. Perhaps it should be cut back as ED suggests but it would need to be a quite small section and properly referenced. --Bduke (Discussion) 01:29, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We now have an IP editor removing this refenced material. To him/her I say that referenced material should not be removed in favour of non-referenced material and that we should discuss the scope of this article here. Also edits should be explained in an edit summary. --Bduke (Discussion) 05:46, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Scout prayerPrayers used in Scouting – I suggest changing it to a more workable title. --evrik (talk) 17:04, 15 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks. I kept going back and forth on which one is more appropriate for the information in the page. 'Scouting prayers' seems fine, but because many of the prayer titles contain the words 'Scout prayer', 'Scout prayers' seems more accurate. I wonder if they give a prayer merit-badge?
