Bear Cub Scout Fellowship and Duty to God- requirement

Fellowship and Duty to God

*With the modifications

To all my Den Leaders out there, I told my den that they had to work on this at home. With as many different types of religions out there, I wanted the kids to know what their family practices.

Complete the following requirements:

1. Discuss with your parent, guardian, den leader or other caring adult what it means to do your Duty to God. Tell how you do your duty to God in your daily life.

*My son basically told me that he tries to be nice to everyone. He helps kids at school that don't understand the assignment ( I said that was fine as long as it's NOT a test or quiz), he sticks up for his friends, he is polite to the teachers and people that work there, ect When I asked how that was a Duty to God, he said God was all about Love and that we should help people that need it.I was happy with that answer.

2. Complete at least 1 of the following:

A. Identify a person whose faith you admire, and discuss this person with your family

B. With a family member, provide service to a place of worship or a spiritual community, school, or community organization that puts into practice your ideals of duty to God and strengthens your fellowship with others.

* LJ chose to do option A. He learned about the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr in school and that's who he chose to admire. I was once again, happy with his answer.

3. Complete at least 1 of the following:

A. Earn the religious emblem of your faith that is appropriate for your age, if you have not already done so.

B. Make a list of things you can do to practice your duty to God as you are taught in your home or place of worship or spiritual community. Select 2 things to do and practice doing them for 2 weeks.

*As I am writing this, we are in the middle of our 2 weeks. LJ chose to help someone at school to help understand the math. He also chose to pray every night. If you choose the religious emblem of your faith and need help, contact your den leader on how to do that.

Congrats you are done with Fellowship and Duty to God! Your scout or scouts is 1 step closer to reaching their bear rank. Remember, try to have fun with this.
