As an American, I will do my best to
Be
clean in my outdoor manners
will treat the
outdoors as a heritage. I will take care of it for myself and others will keep
my trash and garbage out of lakes, streams, fields, woods, and roadways.
Be
careful with fire
I will prevent wildfire. I will build my fires only where
they are appropriate. When I have finished using a fire, I will make sure it is
cold out.
I will leave a clean fire ring, or remove all evidence of my fire.
Be
considerate in the outdoors
I will treat public and
private property with respect.
I will use low-impact methods of hiking and camping.
Be
conservation minded
I will learn how to
practice good conservation of soil, waters, forests, minerals, grasslands,
wildlife, and energy.
I will urge others to do the same.
