Requirements to be a Boy Scout
Scout Oath or Promise
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.
On my honor | This means you know right from wrong and you intend to do your utmost to do what is right. No one can take honor away from you, but you can throw it away by doing what you know is wrong. |
Duty to God & Country | Parents and religious leaders teach you to know and serve God. By following these teachings, you do your duty to God. Our country was built upon a trust in God. Work for your country's good. Obey its laws. Show your loyalty. |
Duty to Other People | There are many people who need help. A cheery smile, a helpful hand, a "hello" make life easier and more pleasant. Obey the Scout Law - do a Good Turn daily - prove yourself a Scout. |
Duty to Self | You owe it to yourself to take care of your body. Protect it and build it. You owe it to yourself to develop your brain. Add to your knowledge. You owe it to yourself to aim to become a man of strong character. Be ready to take your place in the world as a capable citizen. |
"A Scout is
trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind,
obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent."
The Scout Motto
The Scout motto is "Be Prepared." The Scout motto means that you are always
ready in mind and body to do your duty and to face danger, if necessary, to
help others.
The Scout Slogan
The Scout slogan is "Do a Good Turn Daily." It means looking for lots of opportunities
to help someone each day, then helping quietly without boasting. A Good Turn
is an extra act of kindness - not just something you do because it is good manners.
The Scout Salute
The Scout salute signifies respect and courtesy. Use it to salute the flag of
the United States of America, or during ceremonies that honor a leader or friend
of Scouts.
To give the Scout salute, place your right hand in the position of the Scout
sign. Bring the hand smartly up to your forehead, palm sideways, until your
forefinger touches the edge of your cap above the right eye. When the salute
is completed, snap your hand down quickly to your side.
The Scout Sign
Three upraised fingers stand for the three parts of the Scout Oath. The little
finger and thumb clasping stand for the bond between all Scouts. Use this when
you give the Scout Oath or Scout Law.
The Scout Handclasp
To give the Scout handclasp, use your left hand instead of your
right. Do not interlock your fingers. The Scout handclasp is a token of friendship.
That's why you use your left hand - the one nearest your heart.
The Outdoor Code
It is important to know how to behave in the outdoors. Be careful not to litter;
keep your cooking fire under control; take good care of the nature around you.
"AS AN AMERICAN, I WILL DO MY BEST TO -"
BE CLEAN IN MY OUTDOOR MANNERS - I will treat the outdoors as a heritage. I will try to improve it for myself and others. I will keep my trash and garbage out of America's waters, fields, woods, and roadways.
BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE - I will prevent wildfire. I will build my fire in a safe place and be sure it is out before I leave.
BE CONSIDERATE IN THE OUTDOORS - I will treat public and private property with respect. I will remember that use of the outdoors is a right that I can lose by abuse.
BE CONSERVATION-MINDED - I will learn how to practice good conservation
of soil, waters, forests, minerals, grasslands, wildlife, and energy. I will
urge others to do the same.
