The Promise “ Adventure! “... Hiking along trails,... and camping under the open sky. “Smell fresh rain in the woods... “... Cook your meals over a camping stove. Travel the backcountry without leaving a trace, and live well with only what you carry in your pockets and pack... “... A doorway to friendship... Meet lots of other scouts along the way... A worldwide brotherhood... “Want to learn the skills that are used outdoors?... Find their way with a map and compass.. Stay warm and dry in stormy weather.. “... Observe wildlife close up and study nature all around them... “... Teach others what you know. Everyone helping everyone else – this is part of Scouting, too.

The Promise “...be prepared in time of need... “The small acts of kindness you perform every day.. Improve the lives of others. In an emergency, you will be ready.. “Outdoor adventures, service projects, leadership in your Patrol and Troop.. Experiences and responsibilities that will help you mature. “The Scout Oath and the Scout Law... “Finally, Scouting is fun. “[..Handbook] will tell you all you need to know. The rest is up to you.”
