The scouts gathered in the Undercroft of the Cathedral before processing into the church. On Sunday, February 7 the Cathedral of the Incarnation celebrated Boy Scout Sunday at the 9:30 a.m. Family Mass. The Boy Scouts of America annually celebrates its founding on February 8, 1910, based on the program started by Lord Baden Powell in England on August 1, 1907. Scout Sunday was added to the Scout celebration in the middle 1940s. Scout Sunday is always the Sunday prior to February 8th, unless the 8th is a Sunday, in which case the 8th would be Scout Sunday. The Scout Sunday tradition was started to make people in houses of worship aware of Scouting, and to allow Scouts to live out their “Duty to God” pledged each week. The Scout Law says that a “Scout is Reverent” and the Scouts of all ages promise to do their “Duty to God”. These values strengthen youth character in their family, community and faith. The scouts were remembered in the Prayers of the People during the Mass and thanked for the good deeds they do.

The Boy Scouts proudly processed up the main aisle of the church.
