Duty to God
Duty to God, an Arrow of Light Required Adventure
The Arrow of Light Cub Scout handbook says,”Duty to God … Your family and religious leaders teach you about God and the ways you can serve. You can do your duty to God by following the wisdom of those teachings and by defending the rights of others to practice their own beliefs. The BSA is absolutely nonsectarian (not affiliated with or restricted to a particular faith or religious group) in its view of religious training. Reverent means that a Scout is faithful in their religious duties and respects the beliefs of others. No matter what the religious faith of a Scout may be, this fundamental of good citizenship should be kept before them.“
