Philmont Grace

For food, for raiment,

For life, for opportunity,

For friendship and fellowship,

We thank thee, O Lord.

Also known as the “Wilderness Grace.” The original version, the “Worth Ranch Grace,” was written in 1929 by Jerry Fulkerson, Camp Director at Worth Ranch Scout Camp, Palo Pinto County, Texas. This prayer was adopted as the “Philmont Grace”.
