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 myself and others. I will keep my trash and garbage out of lakes, streams, 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, waters, forests, minerals, grasslands, wildlife, and energy. I will urge others to do the same.
