“On my honor I will do my best,
to do my duty to God and my country,
and to obey the Scout Law.
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.”
“A Scout is:
Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly
Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful
Thrifty, Brave, Clean and Reverent.”
“Be Prepared!”
“Do a good turn daily.”
