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, steams, 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, water, forests, minerals, grasslands, wildlife, and energy. I will urge others to do the same.
