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 carful with fire.' I will prevent wildfire. I will build my fires only where they are appropraite. 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, water, forests, minerals, grasslands, wildlife, and energy. I urge others to do the same.
