I am a Scout.

I am a Scout

I am a Scout and I am Trustworthy.

My word is a bond of honor that can be counted upon to be true. Never shall I say one thing and yet do another. Ever shall you be confident in placing your trust in me.

I am a Scout and I am Loyal.

Never shall I turn away from my responsibilities to those who require my aid. My allegiance shall never be in question. I shall ever be faithful.

I am a Scout and I am Helpful.

I care about my fellow man. I will provide aid and do my duties with no concern for remittance. My payment shall be the knowledge that I have done what is right.

I am a Scout and I am Friendly.

Ever shall I offer good will regardless of station or position. As all are my brother, let no man ever find me less than a friend.

I am a Scout and I am Courteous.

Politeness and good manners shall ever be my means of conveying myself to my fellow man.

I am a Scout and I am Kind.

I am strong enough to be gentle, wise enough to be patient, and faithful enough to be compassionate. Never shall I allow my aims, goals and actions to be tainted with the misuse of power or authority.

I am a Scout and I am Obedient.

I shall ever follow the rules of my God, my family, my Den, Patrol, Troop and Pack, and the laws of my Country. I shall be guided by the rules and teachings of my Akela; my leader. No man shall ever find it necessary to call me cheat, liar or criminal.

I am a Scout and I am Cheerful.

I shall ever greet my fellow man with a smile and a handshake. I shall offer good will in every encounter and perform every act with humility and a smile. Never shall I allow myself to foster an environment where others are not encouraged to be happy. I shall find the positives in all things and never dwell upon the negatives.

I am a Scout and I am Thrifty.

I am not a spendthrift. I shall not waste the resources I have been given. As a steward of all things, I shall conserve and protect what is, what was, and what shall be.

I am a Scout and I am Brave.

Though I be afraid, I shall accept my duties and face danger when necessary. Never shall I allow blind fear to be my copilot. I will stand tall under adversity and perform my appointed tasks when called. The importance of my duties requires that I never be turned from them. Though others may laugh and jeer, courage shall ever be my badge and shield of honor.

I am a Scout and I am Clean.

My body and mind are my greatest of tools. Ever shall I keep them in the peak of condition. I shall surround myself with others who hold themselves to the highest of standards so that I too shall be encouraged to do the same.

I am a Scout and I am Reverent.

I am first and foremost led by God, my Creator. No act, thought, or desire shall ever sever myself from the sacred bonds of my faith. Ever shall I be respectful of the beliefs of others and ever shall I demonstrate my adherence to my own beliefs. I shall ever strive to be the example of one who walks with, and is directed by God.

I am a Scout

I am a Scout.

On my honor…

I pledge these things on my Sacred Honor. Let God and all men know that my very essence binds me to uphold this promise.

I am a Scout.

… I will do my duty…

I have a responsibility that I shall never shirk from. No task laid before me will go undone, no goal shall not be attempted. My works shall be the works God sets upon my shoulders and I see these works as requirements of me.

I am a Scout.

… to do my best…

I never give less than my all. If something is worthy of my attention, it is worthy of my best effort. And while my best may not always be enough, I will give my all with the satisfaction and knowledge that I have done all I am capable in order to complete my goals. I shall never be ashamed of the job I’ve performed, because I know I have done it to my utmost capability. I will always be proud of the work I’ve performed.

I am a Scout.

… to God and my Country.

My tasks require me to do as God commands first, then to do as my Country asks. I shall always first find my lead in the Almighty, my Creator, but I shall never shy from the requirements of citizenship. As God calls me, I shall answer. In like fashion, so too shall my fellow countryman find me ready, willing, and able in times of need.

I am a Scout.

To help other people at all times.

Never shall the voices of the needy be silent upon my ears. Never shall I turn from those who require my assistance. I shall ever stand vigilant, ready at any moment to provide aid and do my Good Turn daily.

I am a Scout.

To keep myself physically strong…

I shall not become slothful and lazy. Nor shall I allow my being to become corrupted with drugs and alcohol. My body is the handiwork of God and I shall treat it as such. I am ever to Be Prepared. My body must be able to provide to give my all at any moment.

I am a Scout.

… mentally awake…

My mind is my greatest tool. I must be ready to be clear of thought at any time. Never shall I dull my sense with chemicals and foolishness lest I fail to recognize my duties or perform them to less than by best.

I am a Scout.

… and morally straight.

I shall be the moral compass for others. As I shall measure myself against what I know is correct, let all men and women seek to measure themselves against my example. Ever shall I hold myself to the highest of standards.
