The rover promise is the same as the
scout promise but a greater understanding should be had:
On my Honor Your honour must be a very sacred thing to you. It rules your
conduct as a person. It determines your trustworthiness, and is a dictate that
you do what you know is right, fair and honorable. Your
honor is your word.
I promise - This particular promise is a solemn undertaking that should not
be made lightly – even less so by an adult. Think very carefully before making
a promise – and more specifically the Scout promise – as you are honour bound
to adhere to it. Mean what you say so that your promise can be trusted.
To do my best - This means that though circumstances may hinder you from
doing it as completely as you would wish, you will not fail through lack of
trying.
Duty to God,Dharma and Truth - What is your duty
to God? To put it briefly, it would seem to be to try in the first place to
realise the nature of God. Secondly, it is to develop and use, for good purpose
only, the body, which He has lent to you. It is your duty to your God to
develop the talents of mind and body that He has bestowed on you, and to
cultivate the spirit of love and goodwill to others by continual practice. The
part of your God that is within you is your soul. Only you and your God know
your truth.
My Country - That is to your country, under the
leadership constituted by the will of the majority, and to our wider
international links.
To help other people at all times - Put into constant, active practise the
divine law – love thy neighbor as thyself.
And to obey the Scout Law
