It gives a rabbi a framework to address Scouts directly\, in addition to speaking ab out Scouting to the congregation. Some rabbis use regular liturgy and supp lement it with special reading. Others devote the entire worship services to Scouting themes\, using Scouts and Scouters as readers. There is no "on e right way " to conduct such a service. Most rabbis understand the purpos e to be a strengthening of the bonds between the synagogue and the Scoutin g unit and plan accordingly. Many units have chaplains and chaplain's aide s. Utilizing these individuals strengthens their commitments to the Scouti ng unit and to the Jewish organization that uses the Scouting program. Ano ther feature central to many service is the presentation of religious embl ems. Since its inception in 1910\, Scouting has been used by synagogues\, churches\, and many other religious organizations. Approximately 50 percen t of all Scouting units today are chartered to religious groups\, because religious leaders have long recognized that scouting provides them with ex ceptional opportunities to draw youth closer to their congregations.
