A Scout's Prayer

Grandfather of all Scouts....

Teach me....to be the eyes of my people

Teach me...to move like the shadow

Allow me..to become the winds, the rocks, the soils

and all the life force in all its forms.

Allow me...to suffer for my people and take away their pain.

Honor me...by allowing me to die for my people...

for I love my people beyond myself

and I will sacrifice my all for my people, my Earth, and You.

Test me...beyond all hardships and pain.

Create me...as you would forge a tool...

And if you find me worthy...

then bless me as you servant...

your Scout

From Master Scout "Shadow Walker" age 91. Summer of 807 Vision Quest at Panther Ridge, Mexico
