Scout's Hymn
Now as I start upon my chosen way
In all I do, my thoughts, my work, my play
Grant as I promise, courage new for me
To be the best, the best that I can be
Help me to keep my honour shining bright
May I be loyal in the hardest fight
Let me be able, for my task and then
To earn a place, among my fellow men.
Open my eyes, to see the things I should
That I may do my daily turn of good
Let me be ready, waiting for each need
To keep me clean, in thought and work and deed.
So as I journey, on my chosen way
In all I do, my thoughts, my work, my play
Grant as I promise, courage new for me
To be the best, the best that I can be
