SCOUT LAW
The Scout Law has 12 points. Each is a goal for every Scout. A Scout tries to live up to the Law every day. It is not always easy to do, but a Scout always tries.
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 are 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.
"The boy is not governed by Dont', but is led on by Do. The Scout Law, therefore, was devised as a guide to his actions rather than as repressive of his faults. It merely states what is good form and expected of a Scout."
