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 wildfires.  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.
