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.

On my honor
This is like saying "I promise; it means you are the kind of person who always tries to do what is right, and can be trusted to keep this promise. No one can take your honor from you, but you can throw it away by breaking your promises and doing what you know is wrong.

To do my duty to God and my Country, and to obey the Scout Law
Your family and religious leaders teach you to know and serve God. By following these teachings, you do your duty to God. Many men and women have worked to make America great and many gave their lives for their country. By being a good family member and a good citizen, by working for your country's good any obeying its laws, you do your duty to your country. Obeying the Scout Law means living by its 12 points.

To help other people at all times
Many people need help. A cheery smile and a helping hand make life easier for others. By doing a Good Turn daily and helping when you're needed, you prove yourself a Scout and do your part to make this a better world.

To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

Being morally straight means to live you life with honesty, to be clean in your speech and actions ,and to be a person of strong character.
