Scout Oath For my glory, I will do my best to fulfill my duty to God and my country and obey the Scout Law; help others at any time; To keep me strong physically, mentally alert and morally upright. FRIENDLY. Be a friend to everyone, even to people who are very different from you. RESPECTFUL. Be in the fear of God. Be faithful in your religious duties. Respect the beliefs of others. This phrase literally refers to the honor on which a Scout promises to obey the Scout Act passed by Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell (1857-1941), army officer and founder of the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides 1, in Scouting for Boys: A Handbook for Instruction in Good Citizenship (London: Horace Cox, 1908): KIND. Treat others as you would like to be treated. Never hurt or kill a living being without good reason. I. The honor of a Scout is trustworthy.

When a scout says, “To my glory it is so,” it means that it is as if he had taken a solemn oath. If a Scout officer says to a Scout, “I trust your honor to do this,” the Scout is obliged to carry out the order to the best of his ability and not let anything stop him. If a Scout were to break his honor by telling a lie or not carrying out an order accurately, if he trusted his honor, he would cease to be a Scout and would have to give up his Scout badge and never wear it again – he loses his life. There are organizations … that put a child in terms of behavior, outside of home or school discipline, and we hear young people make a statement or seal a commitment by quoting the words “leadership honor” or “scout honor.” No one could not like Pyle, the “silent” American. This newcomer is a blushing schoolboy, thirty-two years old, full of idealism, scouting honor and invincible ignorance. USEFUL. Sign up to volunteer to help others without expecting a reward. The next time I went to London Zoo to look for gear for this series, a keeper at Small Cat House solemnly informed me that his three pandas had been doing stupid things lately.

“Come, come!” I giggled with tolerance. “I invent these never-never-animals myself. I don`t believe it. It wasn`t until I saw the animals in question and tested their printed clues for invisible inks that I accepted to believe that there really is a creature called a panda. Today, I confess my past ignorance with shame, carried only by the conviction that very few of you could swear on the honor of your scout that you had ever heard of the animal before. – From Wednesday, October 20, 1909, the author writes about his daughter: THRIFTY. Work to pay your way. Try not to waste. Use time, food, supplies and natural resources wisely. There are not many girl scouts yet. One of them is mine.

She is the leader of his patrol […]. I questioned something she had said the other day, and she turned to me in a flash. “Scout honor is like that,” she replied. There was nothing more to say. The honor of the scout was good enough for me. And if the honor of the scouts is good enough for the hundreds and hundreds of boys who consider this the most binding oath they can take, then we should have more of the honor of the scouts. […] All these boys, and I hope these girls will soon learn that there is more in the world than Mrs. Grundy thinks, something more in the world than a mere convention, that the expression “Scout honor” is to them a solemn oath that no Scout, boy or girl, would rather die than break. CLEAN. Keep your body and mind in shape. Help keep your home and community clean. K.

John used the phrase in the review of The Quiet American (London: William Heinemann, 1955) by the English writer Graham Greene (1904-1991), published in The Illustrated London News (London, England) on Saturday, January 14, 1956: OBEDIENT. Follow the rules of your family, school, and pack. Follow the laws of your municipality and country. POLITE. Be polite to everyone and always use good manners. The Scout Law has 12 points. Everyone is a destination for every Scout. A Scout tries every day to respect the law. It`s not always easy, but a scout always tries. God and glory. Commitments such as the following are on the agenda. “To my glory, `brilliant glory`, `glory of God`, `scout honor`, `crossed honor` (or the honor of one who is the hero of the moment), `honest truth` […].

[…] […] The honor of Scout, Cub`s 2, Guide`s and Brownie`s 3 are the only promises deliberately sown by adults to have taken root, and are sometimes accompanied by a left-hand shake or a greeting with the appropriate number of fingers. However, a Birmingham girl who asked, “On your boss`s promise and slit your throat if you lie,” seems to have had doubts about the effectiveness of the new promise. The expression Scout honour expresses the good faith of the speaker – synonymous: you can take my word for it. RELIABLE. Tell the truth and keep your promises. People can count on you. BRAVE. Face difficult situations, even if you are afraid.

Do what you think is right, no matter what others do or say. CHEERFUL. Look for the positive side of life. Happily complete the tasks that come your way. Try to help others be happy. 2 The noun Cub Scout means a junior member of the Scout Association. 3 The noun brownie refers to a junior member of the Girl Guide Association. Origin of “Brownie” and a hypothesis about the origin of “Brownie Point”. Under the pseudonym John Strange Winter, the English writer and journalist Henrietta Eliza Vaughan Stannard (née Henrietta Eliza Vaughan Palmer – 1856-1911) mentions the phrase twice in her column What I Think, published in several British newspapers – for example in the Forres Elgin and Nairn Gazette, Northern Review and Advertiser (Forres, Moray, Scotland): Scout`s honour dog disc, It`s true. A friend of mine called a vet. to examine his dog. Diagnosis: “A herniated disc.” A herniated disc, as you probably know, is the expensive name for lumbago when you`re not in the National Health Service and paying a high fee to the doctor.

Here is an excerpt from a letter sent on Wednesday 29. It was published in February 1928 in the Aberdeen Press and Journal (Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland), indicates that children at that time already used the terms Scout Honour and Chief Honour as vows: Home > About BSA > FAQs> What are the Scout Oath and the Scout Act? I am pleased to introduce you this week to a strange animal called a river pig, and I am not talking about a fast boater. Why strange? Because a river pig has three tails, two of them, you can see that wet, grow with the tips of its long ears. I speak in honor of my scout, but if you don`t believe me, look at the photo. Even with the naked eye, you can see that the ear ends with a puff of coarse hairs nearly two feet long. With two of them acting as lieutenants for its real tail, a river pig can also adequately handle the clouds of cravings that live in its native Africa. Famous men and men hoping to become famous one day dodged into the ring at the Chelmsford Corn Exchange on Tuesday and bowed to another sold-out crowd (writes Gilbert Saunders). The shrewd little Ted Broadribb, Tommy Farr`s former manager, introduced British light heavyweight champion Freddie Mills and three promising youngsters from Broadribb High School.

Mills, dressed in a dark blue suit that didn`t need padding and bandaged his left thumb, promised to give an exhibit “in honor of his scout” as soon as his thumb was healed, in about four weeks. 1 The Girl Guides Association (now Girlguiding UK) was founded in 1910 as a counterpart to the Scout Association. LOYAL. Show that you care about your family, friends, Scout leaders, school, and country. Our young Girl Scout was so impressed with the size of her position that she immediately tried to teach her devoted family a thorough knowledge of reef knots and hedge splices and something related to carnations. It is very unfortunate that she does not have a dozen younger siblings that she could infect with her great enthusiasm. “Tired?” she said to me one day. “Poor darling! Well, come and sit on the big couch and I`ll teach you how to make a carnation pouch” – I think that was the phrase. However, I did not take carnation matings or other such refreshments with me.
