Scout Values

The Scout Oath and Scout Law form the moral compass that guides every Cub Scout — and every person of faith.

The Scout Oath

Recited at every meeting, the Scout Oath is a promise each Scout makes to themselves and their community.

On My Honor

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.

"Do Your Best"

Simple words, a lifelong standard. Every Scout is encouraged not to be perfect — but to always give their genuine best effort in everything they do.

Values That Align

The Scout Law and the principles of Islam are deeply compatible. Truthfulness, generosity, courage, and service to others are cornerstones of both traditions. At Pack 321, our Scouts don't just learn the Scout Law — they live it, guided by their faith.
