1. A scout’s honour is to be trusted. If a scout were to break his
honour by telling a lie, or by not carrying out an order exactly, when
trusted on his honour to do so, he may be directed to hand over his
scouts’ badge and never to wear it again. He may also be directed to
cease to be a scout.
2. A scout is loyal to his country, his officers, his parents and his
employers. He must stick to them through thick and thin against any
one who is their enemy or who even talks badly about them.
3. A scout’s duty is to be useful and to help others. He must be
prepared at any time to save life or to help injured persons, and he
must try his best to do a good turn to somebody every day.
4. A scout is a friend to all and a brother to every other scout, no
matter to what social class the other belongs.
5. A scout is courteous, especially to women, children, old people,
invalids, and cripples. And he must never take a reward for being
courteous.
6. A scout is a friend to animals. Killing an animal for food is
allowable.
7. A scout obeys orders of his parents, patrol leader, or scout master
without question.
