alexiv 10 Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Today, April 23rd is the traditional feast day of St. George, patron saint of Scouting. St. George was a Christian Martyr in the 2nd Century who was persecuted by the Emperor Diocletian. St. Georges bravery in the face of persecution and holy life are models for scouts. Catholic scouts and scouters should pray to St. George for the advancement of the scouting movement. All other scouts should see him as a historical figure that held true to the values that scouting now represents. Link to post Share on other sites
eisely 13 Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Isn't St. George usually depicted slaying a dragon? PETA would not approve. After all, dragons have rights too? Link to post Share on other sites
