Outdoor Code

As an American, I will do my best to-

Be clean in my outdoor manners. I will treat the outdoors 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 the outdoors is a right that I

can lose by abuse.

Be conservation-minded.  I will learn how to practice good conservation of

soil, waters, forests, minerals, grasslands, wildlife, and energy.  I will encourage

others to do the same.
