Scout Oath On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country & to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
Scout Law A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
This week, a young friend joined the Scouts, took his oath & pledged to live by the Scout Law. Okay, so technically his oath* was a todd tad different, since he's on the other side of the world, outside Sydney, but the basics are still the same - do your best.
This past week, I took my own version of the Scout oath, inspired by a quote from Helen Keller - When we do the best we can, we never know what miracle is being wrought in our life, or in the life of another.
Zach - thanks for reinforcing how well we'd all be served if we lived by the Scout Oath! Congratulations & blessings on you & your parents.
I promise that I will do my best
To do my duty to my God and
To the Queen of Australia,
To help other people, and
To live by the Scout Law
