Scout law

 

1. A Scout is to be trusted.
Always keep your promises, if you agree to do something, then make sure that you do it.

 

2. A Scout is loyal.
As a Scout, you are dedicated to Scouting, your family, friends and your work.

 

3. A Scout is friendly and considerate.
As a Scout you must always think about how what you do may affect others (including people that you do not know). This includes such things as not making noise which may disturb your neighbours and always disposing of your litter carefully.

 

4. A Scout belongs to the world-wide family of Scouts.
The Scout movement is like a large family, and as such you will find that you can share in Scout activities throughout the world.

 

5. A Scout has courage in all difficulties.
Whatever you are doing, when the going get tough, you will do your best to overcome your difficulties.

 

6. A Scout makes good use of time and is careful of possessions and property.
Plan what you are going to do and when. For example, when you get home from school, plan your evening, do your home-work first! Always look after the items you own and the things you use, and everyone else's for that matter. When you are at school, look after the books and equipment you are given to use.

 

7. A Scout has respect for himself and for others.
Look after yourself, don't rely on someone else to tell you when to do things. For example, your parents will not always be with you to tell you to get washed in the morning, or dress smartly.

 

You may not always agree with other people, but you should always be willing to listen to what they have to say, and you should respect their views and opinions even when they do not match your own point of view.
