Once an Eagle, always an Eagle
AN EAGLE SCOUT’S PRAYER
Oh Lord,
grant that I may possess
the will and the strength
to live up to my solemn obligations:
To do my duty
to God and my country;
To serve my community;
To all mankind be trustworthy,
friendly, courteous, kind,
obedient, cheerful, thrifty,
brave, clean, and reverent;
To help others
at all times,
especially those
who are weak or in need;
To assist my fellow Scouts
along the Eagle Trail,
providing leadership and inspiration
that they may also experience
the fulfilling rewards of Scouting;
To keep myself
physically strong,
mentally awake,
and morally straight
in every undertaking of my daily life;
To respect
our wildlife and environment;
To be prepared,
and to do my best in every endeavor;
Never to forget
that I am an Eagle Scout;
and –
Always to remember
that I represent the ideals
of the highest achievement in Scouting –
a symbol of good character and citizenship,
and of wholesome worth and honor.
Amen
