The original promise can still be said:
On my honour, I promise that I will do my best, to do my duty to God (or Dharma/Brahman/Allah) and to the Queen, to help other people and to keep the Scout Law But atheists can now say a new, 'alternative' core promise: On my honour I promise that I will do my best to uphold our scout values, to do my duty to the Queen, to help other people and to keep the Scout Law This new promise will be first said in January 2014, and has been released in conjunction with the end of the ban on atheist leader. Scouts Restarts on 14/01/13. Don't forget to bring a list of badges which you hope to complete this year!
