Scout Oath

Every Cub Scout and Boy Scout makes an oath as part of being a Scout. This oath reads:

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.

But what does this mean? Let’s break it down:

On my honor- I promise
I will do my best-try my hardest always
to do my duty to God and my country – do what I have to for our Savior and country
and obey the Scout Law-follow what the Scout Law states
to help other people at all times – always try to find ways to serve others
to keep myself physically strong – stay physically fit
mentally awake – keep our minds fit
and morally straight.- have good intentions.
