Outdoor Code

As an American I will do my best to-

-BE CLEAN IN MY OUTDOOR MANNERS.

I will treat the outdoor as a heritage.  I will try to improve it for myself and others. I will keep my trash and garbage out of America's waters, fields, woods, and roadways.

-BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE.

I will prevent wildfire. I will build my fire in a safe place and be sure it is out before I leave.

-BE CONSIDERATE IN THE OUTDOORS.

I will treat public and private property with respect. I will remember that use of outdoor is a right I can lose by abuse

-BE CONSERVATION MINDED.

I will learn how to practice good conservation of soil, waters, forests, minerals, grassland, wildlife, and energy.  I will urge others to do the same
