The Commissioner's Creed

I shall make the Scout Oath and Law an active force in my life.
I shall recognize that the responsibility for 'each unit rests in the chartered institution
-and-
shall assist it in achieving the full value of the Scouting Program in meeting its needs.
I shall strive to lead through information, persuasion and inspiration rather than coercion.
I shall stimulate friendly and orderly discussion until all facts and opinions are considered.
I shall assist those who serve to receive satisfaction.
I shall measure my success by the extent to which boys and adults exemplify the principles of the Scout Oath and Law.
