The Venturing Oath

As a Venturer,

I promise to do my duty to God

and help strengthen America,

to help others, and

to seek truth, fairness,

and adventure in our world.

The Venturing Code

As a Venturer,

I believe that America’s strength lies in our trust in God

and in the courage, strength, and traditions of our 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 humanity and will use fair play and goodwill

in my daily life. I will acquire the Venturing attitude that

seeks the truth in all things and adventure on the frontiers

of our changing world.
