Scout Law 1. A Scout is to be trusted. This is one of the most important facts about a good Scout; you can be trusted to speak the truth and to carry out any job to the best of your ability.

4. A Scout is a brother/sister to all Scouts. As you grow older you will get more chances to meet other Scouts. You should start by being real friends with the Scouts in your own Troop and other Scouts in your District. This friendship should be regardless of what Troop they belong to, what church they attend, or it they are rich or poor. Perhaps you will get the opportunity to attend a Jamboree and meet Scouts from other Countries – they will speak different languages, some will be different colours from you, but they are all Scouts and therefore your friend. As a Scout you have more the 25 million brother and sisters in more than 150 Countries.

2. A Scout is loyal. Loyalty is faithfulness and a form of honour. You will not let people down; they can rely on you. When you become a member of a Watch, your Watch will rely on you and you will rely on them. 3. A Scout is friendly and Considerate. There is a lot to being a true friend, it means giving and not only taking, discussing and not arguing, caring for other people and for all living creatures. Being considerate means thinking of others before yourself and offering help before being asked.
