The 3 Promises in the Scout Oath

Описание: Scout leaders often forget the three promises that are represented in the scout sign. The scout oath and law are represented when making the scout sign. The three fingers are the promises that we make in the oath and the arm is held in an “L” shape representing the law. Scout leaders need to help scouts understand the meaning of this sign. By discussing it in great detail it is intended to give leaders more information.

🔑 Show Notes: Scouting supersedes politics based on the Scout Oath & Law. We have a higher calling in teaching good healthy morals to our Scouts. Scouting is nonpartisan and political affiliation is not a part of this. When Scouts become adults they will have the guidance of the Oath and Law to make good decisions for themselves. This is the most critical thing we do as adult leaders.
“On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty” – Preamble: Honor is something that outlives your reputation and is the most valuable thing in anyone's life. Honor is the hardest thing to earn and can be lost forever in a moment. Your honor is even harder to earn it back after losing it. Doing your best is a work in progress. We often fail when we don’t do our best. Scouts should always be willing to step up whenever called upon. Obligation and loyalty of doing your duty are never forsaken without losing honor.
“to God and my country, to obey the Scout Law,” – First Promise: God & Country. The Scout Law makes this possible. All 12 points are interconnected to one another. If one was to go missing it would completely collapse.
“to help other people at all times,“ – Second Promise: Other People. Your family, your community, those who are struggling, and others. Our slogan “Do a good turn daily.” That does not mean you only do one good turn a day… Maybe one at a time… Remember that “at all times”.
“to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.” – Third Promise: Self. Keeping yourself healthy, mentally alert, and morally consistent.
The Scout Oath & Law should always be taken standing, making the scout sign and the arm out in an “L” shape. If you're in an online meeting assume that everyone is standing.
