The purpose of this event is to hold before the Scouts the importance of doing their duty to God, which is part of both the Boy Scout and the Girl Scout Oath. It is also an opportunity to promote the Religious Emblems Programs that both Scouting Organizations have with over 90 religious faiths. Finally, it is also an opportunity to help teach religious tolerance (to respect the rights and beliefs of others) while at the same time to show the commonality of all the these great religions participating in the walk.

The walk is open to all Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers, Explorers, Girl Scouts, other youth groups, their siblings, friends and parents. This event is open to all area children.
