There's something about sitting by a campfire under the stars, or watching sunrise from a mountain peak, or standing in a forest so quiet you can hear your own heartbeat. Nature has a way of making us feel small and significant at the same time.
Many Scouts find their deepest moments of reverence not in buildings but in wilderness. The intricate design of a spider's web. The power of a thunderstorm. The patience of a tree that's been growing for centuries. These natural wonders inspire awe and remind us we're part of something much larger than ourselves.
A Scout is reverent, and that reverence extends to the natural world. Whether you see nature as God's creation, as a web of interconnected life, or as a mystery worth protecting, treating the outdoors with respect and wonder is a form of spirituality all Scouts can share. The wilderness doesn't just belong to us - we belong to it.
