Outdoor Code of the South

African Scout Association

I will treat the outdoors - our veld, rivers and mountains - as a heritage to be cherished and protected; and to be enriched for our

own greater enjoyment and for future generations.

I will learn to understand nature and her ways.

I will learn how to practice conservation of soil, water, forests, grasslands and wildlife, and urge others to do the same.

I will treat public and private land with respect, remembering that the use of the outdoors is a privilege.

I will prevent fires and build my own fire in a safe place, and be sure it is out before I depart.

I will keep my litter and garbage out of South African waters fields, woods, veld and roadways.

Whenever I take from nature for my own use, I will endeavour to return a share of her bounty.
