Scout promise<\/em><\/strong><\/a> has been taken by all the scouts in order to live up to the ideals of the movement and their devotion towards Scout Law. During the twentieth century, the first half was encompassed by the three major groups for boys as Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Rover Scout<\/em> but later on 1901, there were girls guides as well as Brownie Guide, Girl Guide and Girl Scout, Ranger Guide<\/em>. The Scouting movement is one of several worldwide youth organizations. The Scout Promise made by the Baden-Powell, introduced in his original book on Boy Scouting<\/em>, is as follows:<\/p>\n

On my honor, I promise that—<\/p>\n

1] I will do my duty to God and the King.<\/em><\/p>\n

2] I will do my best to help others, whatever it costs me.<\/em><\/p>\n

3] I know the scout law and will obey it.<\/em><\/p>\n
