live by its precepts in order to give meaning and idealism to
your way of life.

I Will Do My Best …

In everything you do, you promise to do the best you can. If

anything worth doing is worth doing at all, it is worth doing
well. Doing your best is your personal challenge. Always strive
to do your best in everything you do.
• To Do My Duty to God and My Country…

We, who belong to the Scout Movement believe in God. We

may not all worship Him in the same way, but we are one in
our faith and belief that He is the Supreme Being, our Lord
and Master. To do your duty to God, you must worship Him
and follow His teachings according to your own religious
beliefs. You will find happiness in life if you faithfully do your
duty to God.
• The Republic of the Philippines…

Our country, the Philippines deserves our full love and dedication.
The pages of our history are brightened by outstanding deeds of
self-sacrifice and love of country of great Filipinos like Jose Rizal,
Marcelo H. Del Pilar, Apolinario Mabini, Lapu-lapu, Andres
Bonifacio. Fr. Jose Burgos, Jose Abad Santos, Graciano Lopez Jaena,
Sultan Kudarat, Ninoy Aquino and others. They sacrificed their
fortunes, their future, even their very lives – so that our country
would continue to exist in freedom and dignity. We do our duty
to our country by being good citizens, by following the laws of the
land, by living up to its noble traditions and the culture of our
people and by contributing to the building and development of our
nations.

hygiene in school which if observed will help you live a
healthy and happy life. Sound minds dwell in sound
bodies. If you want to have an alert mind and be always

Mentally Awake…
Being mentally awake reflects mental alertness and mental
