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 it for 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. And Be conservation-minded. I will learn how to practice good conservation
of soil, water, forests, minerals, grasslands, wildlife, and energy. I
will urge others to do the same.
