Although the Constitution of WOSM states that the Promise should include a reference to Duty to "God", Scouting founder Lord Baden-Powell approved the use of promises with reference to a "higher ideal", "higher truth", an optional reference to God, or without a reference to God, for Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Finland. Three of these countries still offer this alternative promise (France, the Netherlands and Czech Republic). WOSM stated in 1932 that no new exceptions would be made and expressed the hope that the few remaining countries would stop using a promise without any reference to Duty to God.
