The Venturing Oath
As
a Venturer, I promise to help strengthen America, to be faithful in my religious
duties, to help others, and to seek truth, fairness, and adventure in our
world.
The Venturing Code
As a
Venturer, I believe that America’s strength lies in our trust in God and in the
courage, strength, and traditions of our people.
I will,
therefore, be faithful in my religious duties and will maintain a personal sense
of honor in my own life.
I will
treasure my American heritage and will do all I can to preserve and enrich
it.
I will
recognize the dignity and worth of all humanity and will use fair play and
goodwill in my daily life.
I will
acquire the Venturing attitude that seeks the truth in all things and adventure
on the frontiers of our changing world.
The Outdoor Code
As an
American, I will do my best to…
Be clean in
my outdoor manners. I will treat the outdoors as a heritage. I will take care of
it for myself and others. I will keep my trash and garbage out of lakes,
streams, fields, woods, and roadways.
Be careful
with fire. I will prevent wildfire. I will build my fires only where they are
appropriate. When I have finished using a fire, I will make sure it is cold out.
I will leave a clean fire ring, or remove all evidence of my fire.
Be
considerate in the outdoors. I will treat public and private property with
respect. I will use low-impact methods of hiking and camping.
Be
conservation-minded. I will learn how to practice good conservation of soil,
water, forests, minerals, grassland, wildlife, and energy. I will urge others to
do the same
