Our Heavenly and Loving Father,

We gather here under your protection and guidance. We thank you for this
day, and we thank you for the people here today. We thank you for life and for
the many blessings you have bestowed upon us.

As we come together for this investiture program, we seek your guidance

and blessings. Bless our minds and hearts as we take our first steps into the
world of scouting, a journey filled with adventure, camaraderie, and learning.

May the Scout Oath and Law become not just words but guiding
principles in our lives, shaping us into individuals of character, integrity, and
service.

Grant us the strength to uphold the values of scouting and to create an

environment where these scouts can flourish and grow into responsible and
compassionate citizens. May this investiture ceremony mark the beginning of a
transformative and fulfilling journey for each scout.

In the spirit of scouting, we ask for courage in the face of challenges,

kindness in our interactions, and a sense of duty towards our community and the
world. May the Scout motto, "Laging Handa," serve as a constant reminder to
be prepared in mind and body for whatever challenges lie ahead.

We offer this prayer with gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of this
scouting community and with hope for a future filled with the promise of
character, leadership, and service.

Amen.
