M.J. completed the God and Family requirements and proudly displays his “Pizza of Faith” with the slogan “Where Faith Always Tastes Good.”

As part of the requirements, M.J. recorded his family’s recipe. Here are some of the ingredients for his family: smart (Mom), funny (Dad), interesting (Kaden), crazy (Amaya), and hyper (MJ).  And here is part of his recipe: “We try to pray every day at least twice.”

MJ also recorded what they learned together as a family:

• God is always with us.
• To always have faith in God.
• To never give up.
• Mom, dad, family, friends - they can give major support.
• To always cherish good memories.
• It is good to share. You can share in many different ways.

Thank you, MJ, for sharing your pizza with us!

Slade L. received his God and Life award as well as his Four Star Award in May 2017. Slade is part of Troop 1045 in Hartville, Ohio in the Buckeye Council where he serves as Chaplain Aide. Here’s what Slade had to say about his experience earning the P.R.A.Y. Awards:

"While I was doing the last part to the P.R.A.Y Series, I definitely became closer to God. I started in Cub Scouts and ever since then, God has had a big part in my life. Just in the last two years I have joined my churches orchestra playing the trombone every Sunday and have been put in charge of worship with the five year olds and I have loved every minute of it. The P.R.A.Y Series has taught me a lot about life in general and just knowing that God has a big plan for my life is truly amazing!! To the Scouts that are considering doing the Series, I would really encourage it. 'A Scout is reverent.' I live by this part of the Scout Law every day. Keep your faith and spread His word. God Bless!"

Congratulations Slade, Well done!

Trisha Morgan shared pictures of her Girl Scout and Cub Scout holding their Bible patches.  Over the summer they wanted to earn the RP3 patches. Judging from the pictures which show 4 patches, they only have 2 more to go! (How nice to see the God and Me patch on their blankets, too!)
