Do you "praise" someone at their birthday party ?
Your desperation is showing. The dictionary would like a word with you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Scouting
Quote:Religion and spirituality is still a key part of the Scouting method. The two major world organizations have slightly different interpretations.
The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) states the following in its Fundamental Principles:
Under the title "Duty to God", the first of the above-mentioned principles of the Scout Movement is defined as "adherence to spiritual principles, loyalty to the religion that expresses them and acceptance of the duties resulting therefrom". Note that, by contrast to the title, the body of the text omits the word "God" to make clear that the clause also covers non-monotheistic religions, such as Hinduism, and those that do not recognize a personal God, such as Buddhism.[6]
The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) stated the following in the 21st World Conference in 1972:
The essence of Duty to God is the acknowledgement of the necessity for a search for a faith in God, in a Supreme Being, and the acknowledgment of a force higher than man of the highest Spiritual Principles
