The Person I Aim To Become

Scouter's 5 - Oct./96

As a young person who shares the experience of the Scout Movement, I aim to do my best.

To Be

  • a person with freedom and integrity,
  • clean of thought and true of heart,
  • strong of will, responsible and self-reliant,
  • ready to make a personal commitment for my life,
  • constant and true to my word.

To Be

  • ready to serve others,
  • involved with my community,
  • a defender of other people's rights,
  • pledged to democracy and committed to real development,
  • a lover of justice and a promoter of peace,
  • someone who values human labour,
  • actively building love into my family,
  • aware of my own dignity and that of others,
  • ready to share with everybody joyfully and affectionately.

To Be

  • thoughtful and creative,
  • intent on leaving the world better than I find it,
  • striving for the integrity of the natural world,
  • learning continually and searching for paths still unexplored,
  • seeking to do my work well,
  • free from an overpowering hunger to possess things,
  • and independent of material objects.

To Be

  • open to the spiritual,
  • developing a well-balanced sense of life and the long journey,
  • reaching out to God continually,
  • living my faith joyfully and making it part of my daily life,
  • open to dialogue and understanding,
  • respectful of others' religious beliefs.
