The Scout Oath, Scout Law, and Outdoor Code each play a crucial role in shaping the principles and values of Scouts, guiding their actions and interactions with others.
By publicly declaring these promises, Scouts are able to develop character, leadership skills, and a strong sense of responsibility towards themselves and their communities.
Reciting one or more of these during opening and closing ceremonies distinguishes a Scout meeting from a regular gathering, emphasizing the importance of these guiding principles.
