These pages have been designed to prepare you for your investiture into the 4th Birkenhead Scout Troop. You do not need to continuously study the information in these pages, you get enough of that at school. Instead, we ask that you read through a couple of times to digest some of the information. The only thing you must learn off by heart is the Scout Law, and you should fully understand the Scout Promise before you repeat it at your investiture ceremony.
PROMISE AND LAW
THE SCOUT PROMISE
On My Honour, I promise that I will do my best
To do my duty to God and to the Queen,
To help other people
And to keep the Scout Law
THE SCOUT LAW
A Scout is to be trusted
A Scout is loyal
A Scout is friendly and considerate
A Scout belongs to the world wide family of Scouting
A Scout has courage in all difficulties
A Scout makes good use of time and is careful of possessions and property
A Scout has self-respect and respect for others
THE SCOUT MOTTO
Be Prepared
