Focus of the Trek
- First-hand experience of many of the Scouting-recognized paths to Duty to God and Reverence
- Foster mutual respect, tolerance for diversity, and curiosity among Scouts for the many religions recognized by Scouting (39) for the purpose of religious emblems
- Show consistencies among religions, so Scouts will come to identify with, accept and respect each as paths to God and holiness
- Show differences among religions that make each unique and special to their adherents
- Allow Scouts to observe and experience worship practices and services of each religion, preceded or followed by explanations of the religious practices the scouts observed and themed discussion: religious values of and consistent with the Ten Commandments
