When boys and girls join Scouts, they make the Scout promise.

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

Alternative promise

Scouting is available to people of all faiths as well as people who are humanist, atheist or have no affirmed faith so there are a number of different version of the promise that can be made by a Scout – there’s more information on this here.
