Scout Sabbath is observed in January to commemorate the birthday of the scouting movement in America. The religious holiday, also known as Scout Shabbat, is an important opportunity for Jewish Scouts to celebrate the founding of the Scouts in America and exhibit their religious pride. It is also a great time for non-Jewish Scouts to join with Jewish Scouts in this observance in solidarity with scouts being reverant.
