> Great Master of all Scouts,
>
> We pray that You will make us trustworthy, for there are those who trust
>
> us.
>
> Make us loyal, for through loyalty we reach our highest ideals.
>
> Teach us to be helpful; through helpfulness we forget ourselves.
>
> Make us friendly - there are so many who need friends.
>
> Train us in courtesy, for courtesy is the carpet on life's floor.
>
> Make us kind; the fields and woods are full of Your creatures.
>
> Insist on our obedience, for success comes only to him who first learns
>
> to obey.
>
> Make us cheerful, for cheerfulness is the green grass near the pebbles in
>
> the road.
>
> Train us in thrift, for thrifty habits enable us to be generous to those
>
> in need.
>
> May we be brave - brave in darkness and brave in the light, but save us
>
> from becoming fakers of bravery.
>
> Help us to be clean in thought, in speech and in deed; and may we
>
> remember that our bodies are thy holy temples.
>
> Above all, Father, help us to be reverent - not only toward You but
>
> also toward all things that You have made.
>
> We ask thy guidance in all these things and may we never forget the
> Promise
>
> to which all Scouts are pledged.
