The Scout Oath

Before he becomes a scout a boy must promise:

On my honor I will do my best:
1. To do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the scout law;
2. To help other people at all times;
3. To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.

[Illustration: Hand position. (tr)]
When taking this oath the scout will stand, holding up his right hand,
palm to the front, thumb resting on the nail of the little finger and

This is the scout sign. The three fingers held up remind him of his
three promises in the scout oath.

The Scout Salute

When the three fingers thus held are raised to the forehead, it is the
scout salute. The scout always salutes an officer.

Hindus, and the later European nations have their ancient codes.

The following laws which relate to the Boy Scouts of America, are the

1. A scout is trustworthy.

A scout's honor is to be trusted. If he were to violate his honor by
