Scout Promise
The Promise closely mirrors those from other countries, the ones listed below are for the Brownie and Guide levels, it is unknown if the other levels have their own promise.
Brownie Promise
I promise to do my best:
To do my duty to God and my country,
To help other people every day,
especially those at home.
Guide Promise
I promise, on my honour, to do my best:
To do my duty to God and my country;
To help other people at all times, and
To obey the Guide Law.
=Law=
As with the Promise there are also differences in the Law.
Brownie Law
#A Brownie is truthful, obedient and cheerful.
#A Brownie thinks of others before herself.
Guide Law
#A guide's honour is to be trusted.
#A guide is loyal.
#A guide's duty is to be useful and to help others.
#A guide is a friend to all and a sister to every other Guide.
#A guide is courteous.
#A guide is a friend to animals.
#A guide obeys orders.
#A guide smiles and sings under all difficulties.
#A guide is thrifty.
#A guide is pure in thought, word and deed.
