Scouts and their leaders pledge to live up to this oath: "On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." According to the Scout Law, a Scout is "Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent." 童子军的誓言是基于童子军的章程,它帮助每位童子军成员,在他们的一生中,作出正确的选择。童子军和他们的领导人承诺,不辜负这个誓言:“我以我的名誉发誓,为了上帝和我的祖国,我将尽我的所能,履行我的所责,遵守童子军的章程;在任何时候都帮助别人;保持自己强健的身体、精神饱满和品行端正。”根据童子军章程,每位童子军应该是“守信的、忠诚的、乐于助人的、友善的、有礼貌的、善良的、孝顺的、开朗的、节俭的、勇敢的、干净的和虔诚的。” Scouts and their leaders serve their communities every year through volunteer service projects. These projects meet many kinds of needs in areas like food, shelter, education, and environmental 保护. 童子军和他们的领导人,每年为他们服役的所在地的社区提供义务服务项目。这些项目会适应各个领域的需求,例如食物、救助场所、教育和环境保护等。 The Boy Scouts of America's 100th anniversary celebration will help members, leaders, and alumni to get ready for the organization's next century of service. 美国男童子军成立100周年庆典活动,将有助于它的成员、领导者以及它的原成员,为该组织的下一个世纪的服务做好准备。 On the front of the coin, a cub scout, boy scout, and female venturer salute.
