A Scout is:

As a Sea Explorer I promise to do my best:

To guard against water accidents,

To know the location and proper use of the lifesaving devices on every boat I board.

To be prepared to render aid to those in need.

To seek to preserve the motto of the sea:

Women and children first.

As an Explorer

I believe that America's strength lies in her trust in God and in the courage and strength of her people.

I will, therefore, be faithful in my religious 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 my fellow men and will use fair play and good will in dealing with them.

I will acquire the Exploring attitude that seeks the truth in all things and adventure on the frontiers of our changing world.
