The 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 take care of it
for myself and others. I will keep my trash and garbage out of
lakes, streams, fields, woods, and roadways.
BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE
I will prevent wildfire. I will build my fires only where they are
appropriate. When I have finished using a fire, I will make
sure it is cold out. I will leave a clean fire ring, or remove all
evidence of my fire.
BE CONSIDERATE IN THE OUTDOORS
I will treat public and private property with respect. I will use
low-impact methods of hiking and camping.
BE CONSERVATION MINDED
I will learn how to practice good conservation of soil, waters, forests,
minerals, grasslands, wildlife, and energy. I will urge others to do
the same.
