I am a Boy Scout. I believe in the Scout Oath in my everyday life. As a Boy Scout, I am to set an example of how a Boy Scout should react in everyday life. The Scout Oath is: “On my honor, I will do my best, to do my duty to God and Country; to obey the Scout Law, to help other people at all times, to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.”
What the Scout Oath means to me is that I must promise to do my best, to do my duty towards my faith and the United States; to follow the Scout Law by helping others at times when I am available, to keep myself strong when I am doing something physical, think clearly, and use good judgment. When I started Boy Scouts, I was told to learn the Scout Oath. I practiced for a while until I was able to memorize and recite the Scout Oath. Before I could advance to the next rank, I had to tell my scoutmaster what the Scout Oath means to me and how it affects my daily life. One time during Scouting, I put the Scout Oath into action when I was doing my Eagle Board of Review to attain the rank, Eagle Scout. I put the Scout Oath into action by answering honestly, listening to their opinions, and not showing disappointment at their criticism.
Today, I encourage my fellow citizens to follow the Scout Oath, because I do not want to have any conflicts, war crimes, serious crimes, or huge protests, but to have a peaceful, wonderful country, and to be the best country in the world. So the moral of the Scout Oath is always make an effort, help all people, be honest, and respect the United States and my religion. Lastly, it is an honor to be a Boy Scout.
