Scout Law and Kea Promise
The Law and Promise are values every member of Scouting agrees to live by in everything we do. This means all the time, even if we are at home or school
Our Scout Law

For the environment
Ki te taiao
Do What is Right
Kia Tika
Be trustworthy and tolerant
Kia ngākau pono
Have integrity
Kia manawanui

Kia Ngākau Pai
Accept challenges with courage
Tū whitia te hopo

Kaitiakitanga
Kaitiakitanga is the Te Reo Māori understanding that we are a part of the natural world, not separate from it, and it is our responsibility to act as guardians of our environment
We do this by Having Respect for the Environment - the Sky, the Sea, and the Land, and Doing what is Right by looking after, protecting and cherishing it
Whenever we do things, in Scouting, and the rest of our lives, we should always think about how we are impacting the world around us
