Scout Promise and Law

The Scout Promise

On my honour

I promise that I will do my best
To do my duty to my God,

To (the Queen of) Australia, *

To help other people, and
To live by the Scout Law **

* Individuals choose which version of the promise they wish to take

** For Cub Scouts the last line of the Scout Promise is “To live by the Cub Scout Law.”

Note that the Joeys use a simplified version of the Scout Promise:

I promise to do my best,
To love my God,
And be helpful.

The Scout Law

A Scout is trustworthy
A Scout is loyal
A Scout is helpful
A Scout is friendly
A Scout is cheerful
A Scout is considerate
A Scout is thrifty
A Scout is courageous
A Scout is respectful
A Scout cares for the environment

Note that Joey Scouts and Cub Scouts use simplified versions of the Scout Law:

Joey Scout Law:                A Joey Scout cares; A Joey Scout shares.

Cub Scout Law:                 Cub Scouts are loyal and obedient; Cub Scouts do not give into themselves.
