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

For auld lang syne
