Venturing Code |

As a Venturer, I
believe that America 's strength lies in our
trust in God and in the courage, strength,
and traditions of our people.
I will,
therefore, be faithful in my duties and will
maintain a personal sense of honor in my own
life.
I will
treasure my American heritage and will do
all I can to preserve and enrich it.
I will
recognize the dignity and worth of all
humanity and will use fair play and goodwill
in my daily life.
I will
acquire the Venturing attitude that seeks
the truth in all things and adventure on the
frontiers of our changing world.

The Outdoor Code |
As an American,
I will do my best to:
BE CLEAN IN MY OUTDOOR MANNERS
– I will treat the outdoors as a heritage. I
will take care of myself and others. I will
keep my trash and garbage out of lakes,
streams, fields, woods and roadways.
BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE
– I will prevent wildfire. I will build my
fires only where they are appropriate. When
I have finished using a fire, I will make
sure it is cold-out. I will leave a clean
fire ring, or remove all evidence of my
fire.
BE CONSIDERATE IN THE OUTDOORS
– I will treat public and private property
with respect. I will use low-impact methods
of hiking and camping.
BE CONSERVATION-MINDED
– I will learn how to practice good
conservation of soil, waters, forests,
minerals, grasslands, wildlife, and energy.
I will urge others to do the same.
