A goal of the Boy Scouts
of America is to help boys develop into honorable men by fostering citizenship,
building character and developing mental and physical fitness. The
programs and activities of Troop 523 are always guided by these 3 aims of
Scouting. The Scout Oath, Law and Motto form Troop 523’s Code of Conduct. At
all Scout events and in your daily life, you are expected to follow these
principals.
Citizenship:
Scouts are good citizens in their
community, their nation and the world. The Scout Oath best summarizes what citizenship means.
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.
Character: Scouts are expected always to try
to improve themselves. The personal traits you should develop are listed in the
Scout Law.
A Scout is
TRUSTWORTHY, LOYAL, HELPFUL, FRIENDLY, COURTEOUS, KIND,
OBEDIENT, CHEERFUL, THRIFTY, BRAVE, CLEAN, and REVERENT
You practice these by
following the Scout Slogan, Do a Good Turn Daily
Fitness: A Scout prepares for whatever comes his
way by learning all he can. He keeps himself strong, healthy, and ready to meet
the challenges of life.
The Scout Motto
should be your guide to fitness.
BE PREPARED
