Refreshing it is to listen and recite the Scout Hymn again. Different from reciting the national pledge which agenda is to instill patriotism in oneself, the Scout Hymn is something that allows me to reflect on myself and my goals in life.

Now, how often do you find that in a song nowadays..

----------THE SCOUT HYMN------------

Now as I start upon my chosen way,

In all I do, my thoughts, my work, my play.

Grant as I promise, courage new for me,

To be the best, the best that I can be.

Help me to keep my honour shining bright,

May I be loyal in the hardest fight,

Let me be able for my task, and then,

To earn a place among my fellow-men.

Open my eyes to see the things as I should,

That I may do my daily turn of good,

Let me be ready, waiting for each need

To keep me clean in thought and word and deed.

So as I journey on my chosen way,

In all I do, my thoughts my work, my play,

Grant as I promise, courage new for me

To be the best, the BEST that I can be.
