The ideals of Scouting are spelled out in the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, the Scout motto, and the Scout slogan. The Scout measures themselves against these ideals and continually tries to improve. The goals are high, and, as they reach for them, they have some control over what and who they become.
Scout Oath
Scout Oath
The Scout Oath originates from Robert Baden-Powell, who first published it in his 1908 book, Scouting for Boys. The oath is a declaration of a Scout's commitment to the movement's ideals and is built around the principles of duty to God and country, helping others, and obeying the Scout Law.
Scout Law
Scout Law
The Scout Law originated with Robert Baden-Powell in his 1908 book, Scouting for Boys. The original law had nine points, which later evolved differently in various countries. The American version expanded on Baden-Powell's original law by adding "brave," "clean," and "reverent" to create the 12-point law used today. Despite the global variations, the core meaning and message of the Scout Law are considered universal and are only adapted culturally.
Scout Motto

The Scout Motto's meaning is to be ready for anything by being prepared in mind and body to do your duty, meet challenges, and help others.
