There are certain dates and religious observances that must be adhered to by the individual. Arrangements must be made for participation in special services.
A religious institution has the option of celebrating Scout Sunday/Scout Sabbath at its discretion. For example, the United Methodist Church always celebrates Scout Sunday on the second Sunday in February.
