THE SCOUT LAW
a Scout is trustworthy
The Scout Law is the foundation _ _
on which the whole Scout move- I 0 V 3 I
ment is built. In the Scout Law are J
expressed the ideals a Scout puts
before himself. M 6 I D I II I
There have always been written
and unwritten laws by which men £ ■ ■■
have tried to live. In the world of 111611017
today, when you are a Scout, the
Scout Law becomes your code of ■
action by which you try to live. courieous
There is something about the
Scout Law that makes it different k I II fl
from other laws. Most other laws li I II ll
start with a “Do” or a “Don’t.” Not
the Scout Law. The Scout Law is a AllAflioitt
statement of facts: “A Scout is WU6III6I1I
trustworthy . . . loyal . . . helpful
.. . friendly .. . courteous . .. kind flllAApflul
... obedient... cheerful.. . thrifty 6116611111
. . . brave . . . clean . . . reverent.”
By doing your best to live up to the A L " f f
Scout Law, you are a Scout. If you I II V I I I Y
should willfully break the Scout
Law, you are not a Scout. It is as L M A ~
simple as that. D I 3 Y 6
The ideals of the Scout Law are
high—they are meant to be! It is G I P 3 II
only by striving toward high ideals V I G U II
and keeping faith with them that
you can hope to become the MAN I’AVAI'AIlt
you want to be. IGWGIGIII

A Scout’s honor is to be trusted. If he were to violate his honor by tell- 4
ing a lie or by cheating or by not doing exactly a given task, when |
trusted on his honor, he may be directed to hand over his Scout badge.
He is loyal to all to whom loyalty is due, his Scout leader, his home A
and parents and country. £
He must be prepared at any time to save life, help injured persons, A
and share the home duties. He must do at least one Good Turn to V
somebody every day.
He is a friend to all and a brother to every other Scout. ^
He is polite to all, especially to women, children, old people, and the £
weak and helpless. He must not take pay for being helpful or courteous. 0
He is a friend to animals. He will not kill nor hurt any living creature A
needlessly, but will strive to save and protect all harmless life. D
He obeys his parents, Scoutmaster, patrol leader, and all other duly "f
constituted authorities. ' f
He smiles whenever he can. His obedience to orders is prompt and A
cheery. He never shirks nor grumbles at hardships. 0
He does not wantonly destroy property. He works faithfully, wastes ||
nothing, and makes the best use of his opportunities. He saves his
money so that he may pay his own way, be generous to those in need,
and helpful to worthy objects. He may work for pay, but must not
receive tips for courtesies or Good Turns.
He has the courage to face danger in spite of fear and to stand up for 440
the right against the coaxings of friends or the jeers or threats of III
enemies, and defeat does not down him.
He keeps clean in body and thought; stands for clean speech, clean j I
sport, clean habits; and travels with a clean crowd. * 1
He is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties and |0
respects the convictions of others in matters of custom and reUgion. ■
