Chaplain Aide (A Scout is Reverent)
The Chaplain Aide program provides an opportunity for all Scouts to learn from each other about how a
Scout can do his duty to God, as well as grow in his own faith.
 Bring your unit’s Chaplain Aide to the CAMPORALL with the Chaplains Aide patch on his uniform.
 If your troop’s Chaplain Aide cannot attend bring a designated substitute.
 If your troop does not have a Chaplain Aide select a scout.
“The purpose of this program is to:
 Make the 12th point of the Scout Law (reverent) more meaningful in life
 Promote a greater understanding of and appreciation for all religions
 Provide Boy Scouts with the opportunity to work with an ordained member of the clergy, thereby
gaining insight into the religious professional life”
