Re: Prayer Book recommendations
Snap! I run a CofE Troop too, although being in East London, they're a bit of a religious mixed bag. We use a collection of "Thoughts of the Day" that I have put together over the years, including quotes from the Bible, world leaders and quite a few from B-P. The Scouts are free to add quotes that they've found, provided that they agree with the Scout Law. Email me at alansplodge21(at)gmail.com if you would like a copy.
