A Charge to Eagle Scouts

Eagle candidate ____________________, I charge you to enter this Eagle Scout brotherhood holding without reservation and ever before you the ideals of honor and service. By the repetition of the Eagle Scout Promise before your fellow members, you will become an Eagle Scout. Though the words you use may be similar to those by which you joined Scouting, tonight they will mean more than they could have meant at any time in the past. When you pledge yourself on your sacred honor, you will be sealing your eternal loyalty to the code of the Eagle Scout with the words which closed the Declaration of Independence.

Scout, attention!

Candidate, Scout sign!

Repeat after me.

I reaffirm my allegiance

to the three promises of the Scout Oath.

I thoughtfully recognize

and take upon myself

the obligations and responsibilities

of an Eagle Scout.

On my honor,

I will do my best

to make my training an example,

and my status and my influence

count strongly

for better Scouting

and for better citizenship

in my troop,

in my community,

and in my contacts with other people.

To this I pledge my sacred honor.

Two.

Audience, please be seated.
