ADULT MENTOR PROGRAM The God and Country Adult Mentor program is an optional program for parents who have children enrolled in the God and Country series. Parents will have a workbook to complete. They will model their Christian faith by working side by side their children. Certificate and pin are available upon completion of the course.

ADULT RECOGNITIONS Adult recognitions are given to adults for outstanding service to youth through both their church and one of the national youth-serving agencies (Boy Scouts of America, Camp Fire USA, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., American Heritage Girls). An outside party must nominate an adult to receive an award by submitting the required applications, letters of recommendation, and resume of activities.

God and Life (Grades 9-12) The God and Life study is based on the life of the Apostle Paul as recorded in Acts 9:1-31. Section 1: God calls all kinds of people. Section 2: God doesn’t expect us to do it on our own. Section 3: Each of us must make a personal response to the call of God

Church of God, Episcopal, Lutheran, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, United Church of Christ, United Methodist Church, and Independent Christian churches.

Do I have to belong to a scouting group to earn a God and Country award? No, girls and boys may earn this award even if they do not belong to a Girl Scout, Boy Scout, or Camp Fire group. Members of youth groups and Sunday School classes may participate in these programs. Do I have to belong to a church to earn a God and Country award?

Who may serve as counselor? The pastor, or someone appointed by the pastor (such as a parent, Sunday School teacher, congregational lay leader, or other qualified adult). May I earn more than one award (for the different grade levels)? Yes, you may earn all four awards as long as you are in the appropriate grade at the time (you may not go backwards and earn younger awards). How long does it take to complete the program? It depends. God and Me and God and Family may take 4 to 8 weeks to complete. God and Church and God and Life may take 3 to 6 months to complete. How do I order the booklets? Booklets may be purchased at your local council store or directly from P.R.A.Y. (see attached order form) or via the internet at

www.praypub.org or by calling 1-800-9337729. Does each child need a booklet? Yes. How do I order the awards? The application form to order the awards is found in the Student Workbook. The form must be sent to P.R.A.Y. (your local council will not have these awards). How is the award presented? The award is usually presented by the pastor in a worship service. What is the difference between the Counselor Manual and the Mentor Workbook? The Counselor Manual is for adults who are “teaching” or helping the students complete the requirements.

The Mentor Workbook contains lessons and questions for parents to complete as they work side by side their children on the program.
