On my honor . . .
Honor or word is what we give as a sign of trust. By giving your word, you promise to do or keep in line with the Scout Oath.
. . . I will do my best . . .
Give it your all to live up to the points of the Scout Oath.We aren't compared to what others can do, but are only measured up to our own abilities
. . . To do my duty to God . . .
Our duty to God is service and keeping the commandments in which you have received
. . . and my country . . .
Our duty to the United States is to abide by it's rules and sustain, vote for, and support our government. This doesn't mean that you agree with all of the rules or laws but that you seek to actively participate in the government.
. . . and to obey the Scout Law; . . .
The twelve points of the Scout Law are guidelines that can help us to make the best choices. We show our respect to others, ourselves, and our country by obeying the Scout Law, and Scout Oath
. . . To help other people at all times; . . .
There are many people who need you. Your cheerful smile and helping hand will ease the burden of many who need assistance. By helping out whenever possible, you are doing your part to make this a better world.
. . . To keep myself physically strong, . . .
Take care of your body so that it will serve you well for an entire lifetime. That means eating nutritious foods, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly to build strength and endurance. it also means avoiding harmful drugs, alcohol, tobacco, and anything else that can harm your health.
. . . mentally awake, . . .
Develop your mind both in the classroom and outside of school. Be curious about everything around you, and work hard to make the most of your abilities. With an inquiring attitude and the willingness to ask questions, you can learn much about the exciting world around you and your role in it.
. . . and morally straight.
To be a person of strong character, your relationships with others should be honest and open. You should respect and defend the rights of all people. Be clean in your speech and actions, and remain faithful in your religious beliefs. The values you practice as a Scout will help you shape a life of virtue and self-reliance.
