Kitty Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Does anyone know what the current "Scouts' promise" is in France? I have looked on the SGDF.fr website but there seems to be various versions, as there is on the Wikiscout website.My son is in Les Louveteaux (the cubs, or wolf cubs, as they used to be). This weekend, he is being enrolled and needs to learn his promise. The problem is that they haven't told him what it is and, because of his language skills, he needs to practise it in advance.

Théière Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 As Baden Powell started the scouts,It should be to do their duty to queen and country and stuff the frogs at every opportunity [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Cathy, you may have found this already:http://www.sgdf.fr/Vous-voulez-renouveller-votre?var_recherche=promesse&id_rubrique=27http://www.sgdf.fr/Chant-de-la-Promesse?var_recherche=promesse&id_rubrique=25http://8-12.sgdf.fr/article.php3?id_article=71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitty Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thanks Clair. Yes, I have read all those sites but it is very confusing as they suggest different versions.I also read: http://fr.scoutwiki.org/Promesse_louveteau and copied out the promise there, only to realise that France no longer has a king and so it can't be right!Je promets de faire de mon mieuxPour faire mon devoir envers Dieu et le roi,Pour garder la loi de la meute et pour rendre un service à quelqu'un chaque jour. Incidentally, what is la meute? It is mentioned several times on the Scouts website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitty Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thanks Clair for that as well.My son was having a laugh about promising before God to do his homework (pour faire mon devoir) although I realise that mon devoir is no doubt different from mes devoirs.
