--------------------------------------
On my honor, I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
Note that the Boy Scout Oath has traditionally been considered to have three promises. Those three promises are delineated by the semicolons in the Oath, which divide it into three clauses. The three promises of the Scout Oath are, therefore:
Duty to God and country,
Duty to other people, and
Duty to self
DUTY TO GOD AND COUNTRY: Your family and religious leaders teach you to know and serve God. By following these teachings, you do your duty to God.
Men and women of the past worked to make America great, and many gave their lives for their country. By being a good family member and a good citizen, by working for your country's good and obeying its laws, you do your duty to your country. Obeying the Scout Law means living by its 12 points.
DUTY TO OTHER PEOPLE: Many people need help. A cheery smile and a helping hand make life easier for others. By doing a Good Turn daily and helping when you're needed, you prove yourself a Scout and do your part to make this a better world.
DUTY TO SELF: Keeping yourself physically strong means taking care of your body. Eat the right foods and build your strength. Staying mentally awake means learn all you can, be curious, and ask questions. Being morally straight means to live your life with honesty, to be clean in your speech and actions, and to be a person of strong character."

[some Scout Law history] "..During the years, Baden-Powell himself edited the text numerous times, notably in 1911 adding:
A SCOUT IS CLEAN IN THOUGHT, WORD AND DEED. Decent Scouts look down upon silly youths who talk dirt, and they do not let themselves give way to temptation, either to talk it or to do anything dirty. A Scout is pure, and clean-minded, and manly."
Gov. Rick Perry is also an Eagle.
I was a scout [in Wisconsin, no less] way back when.
Eagle Scout beats the hell out of “Choom gang” or “community organizer” any day of the week. Good for Walker.
Better than being a community organ(iser)
Sounds a lot better than a community organizer..............
I’d MUCH more like an American Eagle Scout as President, than a Kenyan Illeagle Sabouteur
I understand and appreciate what he means. My dad was a scoutmaster, decades ago, when there was far less pretense.
The average person today knows nothing about being in the military or Boy Scouts accept what liberals tell them.
Scott needs to follow up that statement by saying the fact of his successful GOVERNORSHIP is what best qualifies him to be COC.
Beat me by >< that much....
Walker has already shown what he’s made of.
I’m promoting Cruz, of course. But Walker is a close second for me. I’d love to see those two running together.
No kidding. It also beats being Monica Lewinksy’s boyfriend’s wife or claiming to be 1/64th Cherokee as qualifications for president.
We should be prepared to reject all muzzieness.
*grin*
I got up to Star, but we moved around a lot.
Being an Eagle Scout prepared him for the path towards being President of the United States. Only a half-wit would make the logic jump to say it has prepared him for the Presidency. The road he has traveled has prepared him. His background as Eagle Scout has given him the experience to travel that road: a moral compass:
On my honor, I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight.
Eagle Scout vs. Community Organizer? Fine, Eagle Scout wins. But against a first string candidate insteade of an affirmative action candidate? not so impressive. To say ready to be president because he was an Eagle Scout is about as credible as my 7 year twins saying they can drive the family car because they drive RC cars.
I respect Walker as a candidate and would consider him except for his pro-amnesty stance, but seriously, is this how he qualifies himself?!
It is shocking to me.
Rachel Maddow said that this statement really scares her.
GOOD!

>> Eagle Scout beats the hell out of “Choom gang” ...
Exactly.
