At the start of every Scout meeting, and at every Board of Review, Scouts are asked to recite the Scout Oath, the Scout Law and the Outdoor code. Throughout Scouting, you will be asked to not just recite but to reflect and live by the principles outlined in these core commitments.

I will do my best

To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight

To be considerate in the outdoors
And be conservation minded
