The aim of the Scout Association is to encourage the Physical, Mental and Spiritual development of young people so that they may take a constructive place in society.
The method of achieving the aim of the Association is by providing an enjoyable and attractive scheme of progress training, based on the Law and Promise, guided by Adult leadership.
As the recognised national Association in the United Kingdom, the Scout Association is a member of the World Scout Conference.
Its own organisation exists by the authority of a Royal charter granted by King George V in 1912 and supplemented by future Charters. These Charters give authority to Bye-laws of the Association, which are approved by Her Majesty’s Privy Council.
The Bye-laws, in turn, authorise the making of what have become known as “POLICY, ORGANISATION & RULES” – they established the pattern of the organisation, etc.
The Aim, Method, Promises and Laws are defined in Rules 1 & 2 of what is more usually called “P.O.R.” –further details available here: https://members.scouts.org.uk/supportresources/71
I promise to do my best, to be kind and helpful and love God.
I promise that I will do my best to do my duty to God and the King, to help other people and to keep the Cub Scout Law.
A Cub Scout always does his best, thinks of others before himself and does a good turn every day.
On my honour I promise that I will do my best to do my duty to God and the King, to help other people to keep the Scout Law.
