THE PROMISE IN OTHER LANGUAGES
SPANISH:
Yo prometo hacer todo lo posible para
cumplir con mis deberes para con Dios y
mi patria, para ayudar a los demas y obedecer
la Ley del Pack.
FRENCH:
La promesse du Louveteau:
Je promets de faire mon devoir de mon
mieux envers Diey et ma patrie, d'etre
honnete et d'obeir aux lois de mon groupe.
GERMAN:
Unser Versprechen heisst:
Ich verspreche mein Bestes zu tun fur
Gott and mein Vaterland, erlich zu sein
und das Meutegesetz zu befolgen.
ITALIAN:
La promessa del Lupetto:
Io prometto di fare il possible, di fare il
mio doverse a Dio e alla nazione di andare
diritto e di obbedire la Legge del Gruppo.
FINNISH:
Lupaus The promise Lupaan parhaani mukaan I promise to do my best rakastaa Jumalaani, to love my God, toteuttaa sudenpentujen lakia to keep the cub law ja olla toisille avuksi and to help other people joka paiva. every day.
AUSTRIAN:
Ich verscpreche so gut ich kann,
ein gutes Wichtel / guter Woelfling
zu sein, nach dem Gesetz zu leben
und bitte Gott, mir dabei zu helfen.
In the last word, you should have two little dots on each "a", but I
seem to be unable to find this letter from my keyboard right now...
The "wolf cubs", "sudenpennut" in Finnish, are scouts aged 7-10. They
are organized as packs ("lauma"), there is usually 2 or 3 packs in every
troop ("lippukunta"). Cubs have weekly meetings, sometimes excursions and
campouts, They learn scouting and every day skills following a program,
which is right now changing, so I will tell more about it next year...
SWISS:
Although officially there is a cub scout promise,
cub leaders are discouraged to use them, because at
the cub scout age, kids are just too young to keep
the promise seriously. Leaders are however encouraged
to set up their individual pack law.
