The Values of Scouting

 

Scouting is a values-based program with its own code of conduct. The Scout Oath and Law help instill the values of good conduct, respect for others, and honesty. Scouts learn skills that will last a lifetime, including basic outdoor skills, first aid, citizenship skills, leadership skills, and how to get along with others. For almost a century, Scouting has instilled in young men the values and knowledge that they will need to become leaders in their communities and country.

 

THE 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.

 

THE SCOUT LAW

 

A Scout is: 


Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly,
Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful,
Thrifty, Brave, Clean, Reverent

SCOUT MOTTO

OUTDOOR CODE

As an American, I will do my best to:

  • Be clean in my outdoor manners

  • Be careful with fire

  • Be considerate in the outdoors, and

  • Be conservation-minded

  
 

      

Scouting's Bottom Line

court system

-   2 will become Eagle Scouts

-   17 will become future Scout volunteers

-   12 will have their first contact with a church

-   1 will enter the clergy

-   5 will earn their church award

-   18 will develop a hobby that will last through       their adult life

-   8 will enter a vocation that was learned through the merit badge system

-   1 will use his Scouting skills to save his own life

-   1 will use his Scouting skills to save the life of another person
