Want to know more about being a Scout?

The Scout Oath and the Scout Law are the things we memorize and say at the start of each of our meetings.  They are the rules we follow in running the Troop and in leading our daily lives. The Scout Motto and Scout Slogan are short things we try to do every day.  You need to memorize these things in order to receive your first rank of “Scout”.

Scout Oath

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.

Scout Law

A Scout is:

TRUSTWORTHY.   Tell the truth and keep promises. People can depend on you.

LOYAL.   Show that you care about your family, friends, Scout leaders, school, and country.

HELPFUL.   Volunteer to help others without expecting a reward.

FRIENDLY.   Be a friend to everyone, even people who are very different from you.

COURTEOUS.   Be polite to everyone and always use good manners.

KIND.   Treat others as you want to be treated. Never harm or kill any living thing without good reason.

OBEDIENT.   Follow the rules of your family, school, and pack. Obey the laws of your community and country.

CHEERFUL.   Look for the bright side of life. Cheerfully do tasks that come your way. Try to help others be happy.

THRIFTY.   Work to pay your own way. Try not to be wasteful. Use time, food, supplies, and natural resources wisely.

BRAVE.   Face difficult situations even when you feel afraid. Do what you think is right despite what others might be doing or saying.

CLEAN.   Keep your body and mind fit. Help keep your home and community clean.

REVERENT.   Be reverent toward God. Be faithful in your religious duties. Respect the beliefs of others.

    Be Prepared.

Scout Slogan:

    Do a Good Turn Daily
