Existing Scout Promise includes a 'duty to God' pledge
The existing Scout Promise contains a vow of allegiance to the God and the Queen .
It reads:
On my honour, I promise that I will do my best to do my duty to God and to the Queen, to help other people and to keep the Scout Law."
Alternative versions allow Hindus and Buddhists to use the word "my Dharma" while Muslims can use the word "Allah".
Non UK citizens are permitted to replace the phrase "duty to the Queen" with "duty to the country in which I am now living".
