 Scout Promise and Scout Law (back to top)

The Scout Promise

On my honour:

I promise that I will do my best - To do my duty to God and to the Republic of Singapore, to help other people and to keep the Scout Law

The Scout Law

A Scout is to be trusted.

A Scout is loyal.

A Scout makes friends, establishes and maintains harmonious relations.

A Scout is disciplined and considerate.

A Scout has courage in all difficulties.

 

 Scout Salute (back to top)

All members of the Scout Movement use the same salute. The salute is made with the right hand and is only used when you are standing at Alert. It is used as a greeting and as a sign of respect. Scouts salute with three fingers to remind you of

"....your promise to do your duty to God.... to help other people...."

The Scout Sign is similar to the salute but you hold your hand at shoulder height. It is only used when someone is making or renewing their Promise.
