===Pledge===
;By the grace of God: This means that the Pathfinder will rely on God for the strength, courage, and determination to keep the Pathfinder Pledge.

;I will be pure: The Pathfinder will avoid those things which lead into temptation, and seek to fill himself with heavenly thoughts rather than worldly pleasures.

;I will be kind:

;I will be true:

;I will keep the Pathfinder Law:

;I will be a servant of God:

;I will be a friend to man:

===Law===
;Keep the Morning Watch: This means that the Pathfinder will devote time to studying the Bible every day.  Taking time for devotional study as the first thing in the morning sets the course and tone for the day.  However, more important than the time of the study is the study itself.

;Do my honest part: The Pathfinder will perform every task to the best of his or her ability.  The Pathfinder will follow the spirit of the law rather than just the letter of the law.  This is especially true as it applies to IA or Honor requirements.

;Care for my body: Because the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit ({{Bible link|1 Cor 6:19}}), the Pathfinder will always strive to take the best care of it.  This means that the Pathfinder will get plenty of exercise, maintain a healthy diet, and avoid drugs, tobacco, and alcohol.

;Keep a level eye: The Pathfinder will always tell the truth so that he may look others straight in the eye without a downcast face.  If a Pathfinder makes a mistake, he admits it and seeks to correct it rather than trying to hide it from others.

;Be courteous: The Pathfinder will treat others courteously.  This includes people of all ages, young and old, as well as animals.  

;Be obedient: The Pathfinder will obey those who are placed in authority over him.  This includes parents, Pathfinder leaders, and teachers.  However, the Pathfinder must always obey God first.

;Walk softly in the sanctuary: The Pathfinder will treat the church sanctuary as a holy place, because that is what it is.  A Pathfinder knows that the sanctuary is not a place for horseplay, joking around, or running.  It is a place where people come to worship the Lord.

;Keep a song in my heart: The Pathfinder will remain cheerful even when circumstances dictate otherwise. A useful model of this behavior is that of Paul and Silas in {{Bible link|Acts 16:25-34}}.  The result of their cheerfulness was the salvation of an entire household.

;Go on God's errands: The Pathfinder will seek to do the Lord's will.  If he is called to cut grass for an elderly person, he will rush to do this.  If he is asked to read the scriptures during the worship service, he will answer "yes."  The Pathfinder will remember the words of Isaiah when he said, "Here I am, send me!" ({{Bible link|Isaiah 6:8}})
