Be clean in my outdoor manners. Be careful with fire.
Be considerate in the outdoors.
I will treat public and private property with respect.
I will use low-impact methods of hiking and camping. I will prevent wildfire.

When I have finished using a fire, I will make sure it is cold out.
I will leave a clean fire ring, or remove all evidence of my fire.
I will treat the outdoors as a heritage.
I will take care of it for myself and others
I will keep my trash and garbage out of lakes, streams, fields, woods, and roadways.

Place a young boy,
Bright and shining with God’s grace,
Into a free and hopeful nation.
Add a large helping of mother’s love,
And a touch of father’s, too.
A full measure of Scoutmasters’ patience and generosity,
Kindness and care from Assistant Scoutmasters
Camaraderie and friendship from a number of boys,
And support and help from their parents;
Plenty of assistance and encouragement
From family, friends, and community.
A kind word in a moment of doubt,
A gentle reprimand in a moment of weakness,
A helping hand, a guiding thought,
Understanding and forbearance, in full measure.
Immerse for years
In a Scouting atmosphere,
Warming thoroughly with
Good examples on every side.
When done,
Decorate with badges,
And serve to the world
