The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices
over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law.

The Boy Scout Oath (or Promise)

On my honor I will do my best 
  to do my duty to God and my country 
  and to obey the Scout Law; 
  to help other people at all times;
  to keep myself physically strong, 
  mentally awake, and morally straight.

 

The Boy Scout Law

A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, 
  courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty,
  brave, clean, and reverent.

 

The Boy Scout Motto

 Be Prepared

 

The Boy Scout Slogan

Do a Good Turn Daily
