The Jayhawk Area Council is excited to invite you to participate in Scouts Read Sacred Texts Worldwide – a meaningful opportunity for youth to connect with their faith through reading. This special event encourages Scouts to set aside time to read from their sacred texts in conjunction with the U.S. National Day of Prayer. Whether at home with family, at their place of worship, or anywhere that feels right, Scouts are invited to spend about 15 minutes reading on the National Day of Prayer, May 7, 2026, or anytime that week.
Getting Started:
• Consult with your religious leader or discuss as a family which portion of your sacred text to read • Choose a time that works best for your schedule during the week.
• Make it a meaningful moment of reflection and connection This worldwide initiative from Scouting America’s National Religious Relationships Committee helps youth deepen their spiritual journey while earning recognition for their participation.
