For over a century, the Scout Oath and Scout Law have guided young people toward lives of honor, service, and leadership. These words are more than a pledge, they're a compass for character, a call to do what's right, and a promise to live with integrity. Every Scout, from their first rank to Eagle, carries these values forward in all they do.
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.
