Promise

The Promise closely mirrors those from other countries, the ones listed below are for the Brownie and Guide levels, it is unknown if the other levels have their own promise.

Brownie Promise

I promise to do my best:
To do my duty to God and my country,
To help other people every day,
especially those at home.

Guide Promise
