Promise and Law

At your investiture as a Scout you will make the Scout Promise in front of the rest of the Troop. The Promise is a very difficult one to keep, but it is a most serious one and nobody is a Scout unless they do their best to live up to this Promise.
Robert Baden-Powell - Scouting for Boys

The Promise and Law are below for your reference: make sure you know them!

Promises are reaffirmed annually on St. George's Day, the saint's day of our Patron Saint.
