P.R.A.Y. update

Webinars

We are pleased to announce P.R.A.Y.'s first webinar series. Chip Turner will be presenting webinars on the new Religious Emblems Coordinator (R.E.C.) position. Please visit our Learning Center or view our schedule and description of upcoming webinars. Now is the time to learn about the R.E.C. and the resources that will enable you to make an impact in your Scouting community. Let's use the religious emblems programs to help Scouts learn what it means to be reverent.

Mid-year P.R.A.Y. Program Usage Totals

We have posted the P.R.A.Y. usage totals for the first six months of 2012. Please remember that these totals are for the Protestant Christian Program only. See how your council is doing! We have provided an alphabetical list of all councils as well as a list of the biggest users and the councils with the biggest increases.
