And a friend to man.

The Pathfinder Law is for me to:

Keep the morning watch.

Do my honest part.
Care for my body.
Keep a level eye.
Be courteous and obedient.
Walk softly in the sanctuary.
Keep a song in my heart.
Go in God’s errand.
 LEGION of HONOR

I volunteer to join the AY Legion of Honor, and by the
grace and power of God I will:

Honor Christ in that which I choose to behold.

Honor Christ in that which I choose to listen.

Honor Christ in the choice of associates.
Honor Christ in that which I choose to speak.
Honor Christ in the care I give my body temple.
