Outdoor Code

As an American . . .

As an American, I will do my best to - 
BE CLEAN in my outdoor manners,
BE CAREFUL with fire,
BE CONSIDERATE in the outdoors, 
and BE CONSERVATION-MINDED.

The Outdoor Code reminds Scouts of the importance of caring for the environment. The code's ideals have special meaning whenever you are camping, hiking, and taking part in other outdoor events. Being clean in your outdoor manners, careful with fire, and considerate means you can enjoy the outdoors to the fullest, but in ways that do the environment no harm.

The Scout Motto is Be Prepared
